Always Clouded, Never Clear

Set aside the blinds
That cover the world outside
We'll never see enough in this life
But it's worth a try

You've got a tempered mind
But I'm not far behind
I try to keep my sharp tongue locked up inside
I think about consequences so dire
And I'll find a way to speak eloquently
But for now, I'll stay quiet
I'll stay quiet

I don't wanna remember my time on this earth
Wasting nights watching the world burn
Oh what if we changed our ways

Don't you feel your wonder fade
As you repine, sit in complacency for days
And although you won't, I hope you choose to seek a journey of your own
There's so much more perspective to life that you may never know
But you gravitate to small minds, like a moth to flames
Your head's your home, oh don't you know
Oh don't you know

Why sit in shadows when the sunlight warms your bones
Why does an open mind make you feel alone?
