“I’m to Blame” is the 8th track off of Ashton Irwin’s solo debut album, Superbloom. It’s about a mushroom trip, expanding and opening your mind when you come in with cold, hard facts about life and consciouness. At the end, it purposefully says to the ones that don’t understand the concept of the so...
[Verse 1]
Lightning fast at night
Hear the whispers in the rain
You don't want to die
You don't want to take that plane
[Pre-Chorus]
I broke you like a circus ride
Take that plane
I can see it in your eyes
You're screamin' out
You can't make me believe
I can't keep my focus
I don't want to unsee
Now you know
[Chorus]
I'm to blame (I showed you the light)
I'm to blame (I showed you the light)
I'm to blame (I showed you the light)
I'm to blame
[Verse 2]
Two birds on a wire
They don't know that they'll catch fire
We could find a way
Words of wisdom cause you pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I broke you like a circus ride
I caused you pain
I can see it in your eyеs
You're screaming out
You can't make mе believe
I can't keep my focus
I don't want to unsee
Now you know
[Chorus]
I'm to blame (I showed you the lie)
I'm to blame (I showed you the lie)
I'm to blame (I showed you the lie)
I'm to blame
[Bridge]
No, I can't live a lie
You can't make me live a lie
Burning red, letting go
Up in flames, all the same
I am too
[Outro]
It sounds like madness (To you)
It sounds like madness (To you)
It sounds like madness (To you)
It sounds like madness
And I'm to blame
