Tear drops of sorrow beating down upon my chest, from never knowing the true meaning of success,
"Genius" and "a rebel" are the ways you're perceived, but how could anyone be so utterly deceived'

How could I have been so blind all this time'
How could I have been so blind all this time'
Now that all the scales have fallen from my eyes...
How could I have been so blind'

Words full of knowledge, lacking wisdom, were just lies,
Actions representing the very things that you despise,
Self deception fills you in the final hour, holding back the wall of fear that threatens to devour.

How could I have been so blind all this time'
How could I have been so blind all this time'
Now that all the scales have fallen from my eyes...
How could I have been so blind'

You tried to take me to an evil place but I slipped right through your human hands.

Blind, (so blind)
Blind, (so blind)
Blind, (can't see)
Blind, (it's all clear to me)

Lack of repentance was the reoccurring clue,
History of contention points the finger back at you.

How could I have been so blind all this time'
How could I have been so blind all this time'
Now that all the scales have fallen from my eyes...
How could I have been so blind all this time'
How could I have been so blind all this time'
How could I have been so blind'

"A genius" and "a rebel" are the ways you're perceived, but how could anyone be so utterly deceived'
