I should’ve seen it coming,
I spent my whole life running from the very prospect of loving,
Cuz in the end, you get nothing
In truth I knew it was fake,
I got a nose for bluffing,
Once again,
I’m damned by my eagerness to put hope in something,
What a sad world, filled with dreadful irony and games,
Why the fuck my lessons always gotta be from pain?
How I’m back to building after how far I done came?
No one told me just how much you lose when tryna gain
Cautionary tale, this is feeling like some folklore,
Feelings up for sale, I don’t wanna do this no more,
Doing all the work, busy righting all my wrongs,
No one care to listen, so I write it in my songs,
I feel like my weakness is that I’m too fucking strong,
Easy to get lost when you don’t feel like you belong
I guess I been misreading the signs,
I pray that I’ll have better luck when I’m blind
When I’m blind, (yeah)
HOOK
Take my hand and guide me,
Lord, will you provide me
Solace as I take this ride
(Keep your eyes open, eyes on the prize)
What I feel inside me
Never will deny me
Out of sight and out of mind
Or am I out of time?

I wanna believe the way it should be
Is when you start to perceive,
You bout to conceive,
And after that, if you work hard enough,
You bound to achieve
You may get out, but what would happen if you found a new dream?
Cuz I thought mine was words,
Living off being heard,
Feeling loved via likes,
Have my name in the lights,
Booking regular flights,
Do incredible shows,
Spend the end of my nights
Getting head from some hoes
And that’s how it goes until the very death of me,
Now I realize, none of that has ever been what’s best for me,
If you want destruction, then that’s certainly the recipe,
Built a new perspective by creating my own destiny
If I get to choose, then I’m curating the vibe
So, I don’t fuck with anybody ‘less they with the tribe,
We only do this once, so let’s make this shit divine,
It’s crazy how your clarity can come at a time
When all your movement is blind
HOOK
Take my hand and guide me,
Lord, will you provide me
Solace as I take this ride
(Keep your eyes open, eyes on the prize)
What I feel inside me
Never will deny me
Out of sight and out of mind
Or am I out of time? [2x]
