Blind World

Have I really come this far
To see everything burn down?
No forgiveness here
This is what is left of us

I turn my back on all I know
I never sought for wisdom here
Pain so deep I couldn't say
Will we ever stand clear?

I'll blind myself from the world
What I don't see I do not crave
What I don't hear I do not need
What I don't touch will keep me clean

I'll keep myself from the world
No word will leave my mouth in vain
No regrets shall keep me here
And I shall never shed a tear

Have I really come this close
To witness hell in full effect?
Only surrounded by despair
No reason to go home

Live my life as I see fit
Bound by violence and pain
We make our nightmares alive
Is this what we are?

This is what we are...
