I wish I was blind, It would help ease my mind, I wonder what it would be like to be blind, Would I be able to find peace if I was, Because I’m stuck in the jaws of the devil, And he’s injecting with his venom, It makes me see things that aren’t there, It’s like a forever nightmare, Where i’m running away from monsters created from my brain, I try to restrain myself from going insane, But I can't contain myself from the hurricane in my head, Instead I let it spread to my heart, It sets me apart from everyone else, I wish I can say I was all alone, That all I did was plug my headphones, And all my worries just disappeared, But the reality is I feared to be alone, No one there allowed for my thoughts to come alive, Which deprived me from a happy life, Because I was constantly questioning what was real, I wanted to seal my eyes shut, But that wouldn’t stop the whispering in my ear, It always felt like death was near, And I figured death wouldn’t be a bad option, Corruption filled my head, Which led my imagination to be darkened, And I became a burden, I didn’t want to tell anyone I was seeing images, So hear my words if you aren’t getting my messages, I am schizophrenic, And I’m not writing my story for you to feel apologetic, I write for you to understand, That there are others like me who try to withstand, The disease that scares us to open our eyes, So when our brain paints us a lie, I pray someone is there to help us realize.

The Images
I wish I was blind, It would help ease my mind, I wonder what it would be like to be blind, Would I be able to find peace if I was, Because I’m stuck in the jaws of the devil, And he’s injecting with his venom, It makes me see things that aren’t there, It’s like a forever nightmare, Where i’m running away from monsters created from my brain, I try to restrain myself from going insane, But I can't contain myself from the hurricane in my head, Instead I let it spread to my heart, It sets me apart from everyone else, I wish I can say I was all alone, That all I did was plug my headphones, And all my worries just disappeared, But the reality is I feared to be alone, No one there allowed for my thoughts to come alive, Which deprived me from a happy life, Because I was constantly questioning what was real, I wanted to seal my eyes shut, But that wouldn’t stop the whispering in my ear, It always felt like death was near, And I figured death wouldn’t be a bad option, Corruption filled my head, Which led my imagination to be darkened, And I became a burden, I didn’t want to tell anyone I was seeing images, So hear my words if you aren’t getting my messages, I am schizophrenic, And I’m not writing my story for you to feel apologetic, I write for you to understand, That there are others like me who try to withstand, The disease that scares us to open our eyes, So when our brain paints us a lie, I pray someone is there to help us realize.
