When I wrote this song I realized that people will believe anything you tell them without the facts of knowing the truth. In my high school people would spread rumors about other people without knowing the truth. I was among them that was mis-understood. This Song represents that, but it also represents 9/11 and the Iraq war. People are willing to pay for anything that fits thier need even if it means killing innocent people.
Why Do They Pay To Be So Blind?
I reach out from my window
I touch your heart
through shattered glass
I can’t believe what I see
the sharp thorns and stones
that guard your soul
its like the sun peeking at the Earth
through its own reflection
they don’t know what they’re looking at
nobody knows when to be
looked down upon like night fall
its like the fangs of a wolf
scavenging for food
the claws of a tiger attacking
its prey with each swing
good company will do anything to rip
you by the root
why do they pay be see so blind?
it seems they don’t understand
why are they so blind to see?
the beauty possessed before them
why do they fail to hear the words
coming from my mouth?
that they can’t feel my cries
screaming from my heart
why are they so disconnected
to feel the beating of their heart?
that I endure the hate laid before them
why do they pay to be so blind?
tears reach out to me
with the cry for help
from the cast of fear
I won’t let you down
and deceive the wickedness you hear
threats of destruction rip you down
before you realize you’re in shame
it takes boldness to face them
the evil ravages over your life in blame
they will do anything to make you cry
and shout names from their mouth
why do they pay be see so blind?
it seems they don’t understand
why are they so blind to see?
the beauty possessed before them
why do they fail to hear the words
coming from my mouth?
that they can’t feel my cries
screaming from my heart
why are they so disconnected
to feel the beating of their heart?
that I endure the hate laid before them
why do they pay to be so blind?
the words of wisdom
that I set before them
