CHIKA - BLIND lyrics

I should’ve seen it coming
I spent my whole life running from
The very prospect of loving
Cus in the end you get nothing
In truth I knew it was fake
I got a nose for bluffing
Once again I’m damned by my eagerness
To put hope in something what a sad world
Filled with dreadful irony and games
Why the fuck my lessons always
Gotta be from pain
How I’m back to building after
How far I done came
No one told me just how much
You lose from trying to gain
Cautionary tale
This is feeling like some folklore
Feelings up for sale I don’t
Wanna do this no more
Doing all the work busy
Righting all my wrongs
No one cared to listen so I put in my songs
I feel like my weakness is
That I’m too fucking strong
It’s easy to get lost when you
Don’t feel like you belong
I guess I’ve been misreading the signs
I pray that I’ll have better
Luck when I’m blind when I’m blind

Take my hand and guide me
Lord will you provide me
Solace as I take this ride
(eyes open, eyes on the prize)
What I feel inside me never will deny me
Out of sight and out of mind
Or am I out of time

I wanna believe the way it
Should be is when you
Start to perceive you bout to conceive
And after that if you work hard
Enough you bound to achieve
You make it out but what would happen
If you found a new dream
Cus I thought mine was words
Living off being heard
Feeling love via likes
Had my name in the lights
Booking regular flights, do incredible shows
Spend the end of my nights
Getting head from some hoes
And that’s how it goes until
The tragic death of me
Now i realize none of that has
Ever been what’s best for me
If you want destruction then
That’s certainly the recipe
Built a new perspective by
Creating my own destiny
If i get to choose then
I'm curating the vibes, so
I don’t fuck with anybody ‘less
They with the tribe we only do this once so
Lets make this shit divine
Cus crazy how your clarity can come at a time
When all your movement is blind

Take my hand and guide me
Lord will you provide me
Solace as I take this ride
(eyes open, eyes on the prize)
What I feel inside me never will deny me
Out of sight and out of mind
Or am I out of time

Cautionary tale
This is feeling like some folklore
Feelings up for sale I don’t
Wanna do this no more
Doing all the work busy
Righting all my wrongs
No one cared to listen so I write in my songs
I feel like my weakness is
That I’m too fucking strong
It’s easy to get lost when you
Don’t feel like you belong
I guess I’ve been misreading the signs
I pray that I’ll have better
Luck when I’m blind when I’m blind

Take my hand and guide me
Lord will you provide me
Solace as I take this ride
(eyes open, eyes on the prize)
What I feel inside me never will deny me
Out of sight and out of mind
Or am I out of time
