City of the Blind

Right now, for the very first time
I’m truly feeling alive
Newfound distractions obscuring the need
To lose my mind

To be read under a different light
I shared my feelings with you all tonight
So I may find my way in the end
All I ever wanted was to keep breathing

A superficial light radiates
Industrializing this age
Raise the torch and set ablaze
Distraction by design
In the city of the blind
Surrender your self
And you’ll be my sacrifice

Pounding at a door that’s locked from inside
Please let me through or I’ll lose my mind
Inadmissable, barеly audible
Are the scrеams I hear through the hollow walls

Hide now it’s not the first time
That you’ve had to weight the values you hold
Ride along the sidelines and through the shadows
That’s all you’ve ever known

A superficial light radiates
Industrializing this age
Raise the torch and set ablaze
Distraction by design
In the city of the blind
Surrender your self
And you’ll be my sacrifice

I need you to know I endured
This torment with a smile

I can’t surrender tonight
I’m stranded here
I can’t surrender tonight
Days on end

I can’t surrender tonight
I took the fall
I can’t surrender tonight
I sealed my fate

I can’t surrender tonight
Surrender tonight
