New Eyes

Sitting here in silence, thinking
I watch the shadows on the wall
They ebb and flow like branches
A dreadful dance that we all watch

Kept in the dark from something
I swear that I already knew
But I wasn’t ready for the weight of truth

I realize I’ve been locked inside
As I gasp for air, it’s just not fair
I feel like I’m seeing with new eyes
As it burns away the doubt and gray

Blinded by the sunlight, dreaming
I felt the scales fall from my eyes
I’m on my knees, I’m screaming
Now that I finally see
The things wе knew were
Just illusions on thе wall

I realize I’ve been locked inside
As I gasp for air, it’s just not fair
I feel like I’m seeing with new eyes
As it burns away the doubt and gray
