Blind

Reach for the stars they said,

Always try to aim higher,

But they never said it would burn,

Those fuckers are on fire,

There’s a light at the end,

Even if the tunnel is long,

So I ran for that light,

It was a fucking A-Bomb,

It very nearly killed me,

I’m Lucky to be alive,

But knowing my luck,

I’ll be the only one who survived.

Fucking typical,

Lady Luck,

Always waiting,

To fuck my shit up.

But when the dust settled

You were there,

You were so beautiful

I could only stand and stare,

Everything I dreamed of

My saving grace,

You held me so tightly

You  kissed the bruise on my face,

I fell to my knees

And looked in to your eyes,

I saw straight away

You were gentle and wise,

You could help me get thru this,

You could show me the way,

You could protect me and teach me,

Take my fears away,

And I could love you

I could take your pain,

I could heal you and guide you,

Because we are the same,

Your hands are burned too,

We have the same scars,

We kept aiming higher,

We both wanted the stars,

There up there for a reason,

So let’s leave them alone,

I’m tired and dirty

And I want to go home.

 So we set off together

Burnt hand in burnt hand,

To seek our joint fortune

In this now baron land,

Our destiny is out there,

Our path yet to find,

But the light was so bright,

Now the blind lead the blind.

We climb through the debris

And mountains of rubble,

A false sense of security,

In our own little bubble.

I follow you,

You follow me,

I know what you know,

You see what I see.

Walking for days now,

Neither one of use knowing,

Where this is leading,

Unsure where we’re going,

I never questioned the way,

Why would I care?

It just felt ok

Because you were there,

I trust you completely,

With my life and my soul,

It wasn’t your fault

Neither one of us saw the hole.

The hole in our vision,

The hole in the land,

The hole we walked in to,

The hole in our plan.

We fell down together,

Naive, unaware,

So blinded by each other,

We didn’t even care,

Now we can’t get any deeper

Into this hole,

No light at the end here,

No stars we can hold

But somehow it feels safer,

Not to try to improve,

Less change of failure,

And nothing to loose,

And you’re going nowhere,

So now nor am I,

Safe in our hole,

To grow old and die.
