Blindfold

[Bridge] I stroll through life with a blind fold by choice Hoping to avoid Danger When I could just take it off and side step The insanity of telling all of my secrets to a stranger I try to talk to you every day Pray and Digest some scripture Struggling between doing it my way And submission allowing you to breathe on the bigger picture [Hook] Simulated smiles flood the landscape Elevated pride dilutes a handshake (We talk with torn souls) It’s difficult to walk the path and stay straight Guide my steps with your grace to seek your face (Remove the blind fold) Wings Spread hoping to catch the wind Even though I’m anchored in earth and sin (We walk with worn souls) It’s difficult to walk the path and stay straight Guide my steps with your grace to seek your face (Remove the blind fold) [Verse 1] It’s like I’m banging on a door that I’m not meant to open (Not without the sacrifice of making you my focus) Need to remove self from the equation All these years worked to polish perfect mask of patience (No more illusions) Smoke and mirrors shattered in the lime light (All false delusions) Scatter from the stage because the times right (Please use my music) To edify souls of the lost I just wana make sure I’m ready before stars turn off (look) I’ve never been one to apologize but I’m sorry For not nursing the gift I was given to show signs Allowing fear and Pride to impede my stride Trying to keep one foot on the ground when I’m meant to fly [Bridge] I stroll through life with a blind fold by choice Hoping to avoid Danger When I could just take it off and side step The insanity of telling all of my secrets to a stranger I try to talk to you every day Pray and Digest some scripture Struggling between doing it my way And submission allowing you to breathe on the bigger picture [Hook] Simulated smiles flood the landscape Elevated pride dilutes a handshake (We talk with torn souls) It’s difficult to walk the path and stay straight Guide my steps with your grace to seek your face (Remove the blind fold) Wings Spread hoping to catch the wind Even though I’m anchored in earth and sin (We walk with worn souls) It’s difficult to walk the path and stay straight Guide my steps with your grace to seek your face (Remove the blind fold) [Verse 2] It’s like I’m waiting for some tragedy to force me closer (Misplaced passion in apathy this wounded Soldier) At times feels like a failure in your eyes So I dig deeper convincing myself that I can hide (Cried the Atlantic) Trying so hard to be a star (When I should be a planet) And bask in the orbit of who you are (They don’t understand it) But I’m here with arms stanched again Just asking if you can wash me clean and be my friend (Look) I’ve never been one to apologize but I’m sorry For nursing the darkness in my heart keeping it alive Allowing fear and pride to impede my stride Trying to keep one foot on the ground when I’m meant to fly [Bridge 2] I stroll through Life with a blind fold by Choice Hoping to keep my family from Danger When I could just take it off Lead with an example of confidence and not seem like such a stranger We should talk to you every day And as a family pray and Digest some scripture No more doing it Our way Well submit and allow you to breathe on the bigger picture
