[Chorus]

Fallin' with my eyes closed

Tell me where'd my life go?

How the fuck should I know?

Should've seen the smoke screen

In the silence, feel it all around me

Ice cold, walking on a tightrope

Couldn't watch the time go

Never could accept it

Cure my blindness

Look at my perspective


[Verse 1]

3 A.M. on the floor

Watch it all fade away

Not myself anymore

Why's it all have to change?

I can't correct it

I'm still affected

Is everything I do in vain?

I was only 14 when I took some action

19, Saw my first grand from the traction

21, got me crossed up from the fractions

Hit me all at once

Thinkin' what the fuck just happened?

You blink twice, and it falls through

Your friends lie, like they always do

The world is shifted, I'd make the difference

But I'm-


[Chorus]

Fallin' with my eyes closed

Tell me where'd my life go?

How the fuck should I know?

Should've seen the smoke screen

In the silence, feel it all around me

Ice cold, walking on a tightrope

Couldn't watch the time go

Never could accept it

Cure my blindness

Look at my perspective


[Verse 2]

When you wake up, it's too late

You've become exactly what you hate

You can't turn back now

It's in the past now

You're the only one to blame

And when they start to test you

You can bet that they'll just move on and forget you

Come and go and suddenly they say they never met you

Can't give time to anyone who wants to be the next you


[Bridge]

But that's just how it goes

(But that's just how it goes)

You never knew me and it shows

(You never knew me and it shows)


[Chorus]

Fallin' with my eyes closed

Tell me where'd my life go?

How the fuck should I know?

Should've seen the smoke screen

In the silence, feel it all around me

Ice cold, walking on a tightrope

Couldn't watch the time go

Never could accept it

Cure my blindness

Look at my perspective
