life shouldn't be like this
we all live inside of ourselves
unable to see past the blinds
in our minds that are shut eyes

well

a friend opened my eyes
made me take a good look at myself
all this time I've been thinking
I had to get the last word in
out of principle
I had to get my point across
because it was righteous

little did I know it was pride
the sickness of mankind
the sickness that leaves us blind
to this toxic state of mind
that fuels our ego
and little did he know
I had been suffering until I let go
