BLIND by ECHO PARK Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ritchie Star]
I spend most my nights staring at the ceiling
I don't shed tears much, those are trapped feelings
Sometimes I stare at the sky, that's where my grandpa is
I wonder when I'll die and if I'll have accomplishments
I've spent most my life quiet on the fence
When I have an idea, it don't get mentioned
I see a lot of people bragging 'bout a bitch
I know I'm guilty, too, but nobody got no respect
Pants with ripped holes, lots of assholes
So watch out before they kick yours
I'm tryna get grown, I'm still really young
I want a big house, so ima get one
[Verse 2: Cain]
I don't amount to nothing, worthless brown baby
Six feet underground, can't hear complaining
I wanna be a Christian, I wanna pray to something
I have a couple exes, the hardest thing is trusting
[Chorus: Cain]
I miss the hot summer days
Tell me who I am
Don't wanna be me
Tell me who I am, please
You remind me of her
Boxing with the mirror
Oh, woah, woah
[Verse 3: JOHO]
In the heat of the summer, I play with all of my friends
All the adventure, the fun and the trouble we would get in
Then came the days we grew older, I had to see it all end
I never thought there'd come a day I'd never see you again
But now I see through the pen, all of the letters you sent
And all the time that I spend is with a pad and a pen
I don't know why I don't write, I guess I wanna pretend
That we're ten years old, chillin' at Echo Park all again
But you was perched on the ledge, scootin' close to the edge
Overcome with the strife, ready to end your life
A crowd gathered below, as if it all was a show
You were someone they ain't know, and you was ready to go
And I just wanted to show that someone still loved you so
But when I got the door, I was a second too slow
I was a second too slow
[Chorus: Cain]
I miss the hot summer days
Tell me who I am
Don't wanna be me
Tell me who I am, please
You remind me of her
Boxing with the mirror
Oh, woah, woah
[Verse 4: Quad-L]
Feel like life be slowing down
Knowing no-one new in town
I might go out by myself
I might do drugs by myself
I remember them summer days
Now they ain't feel like summer days
Scrambling for the backspace
Memories turn to blank space
Feelings fading, I ain't ageless
Losing patience, feeling worthless
Where's my payment?
Who I'm paying? I wanna make it my own
I'm sick of what they gave me
I did what they told me
Went through the motions
And I took all the potions
It didn't get me no closer to where I'm supposed to be
All the time, I'm roasting me
Like penance for the sinning
Why you sitting when it's time for business?
Where the motivation? I don't have it, ay
And my heart is racing
From the java gaining
Knowing I'm pretty blessed
Shouldn't be complaining, just saying
All I know is that I'm doing pretty well for what it's worth
But I'm feeling like I'm shit in the pits
With an itch I gotta scratch
I just wanna pay the bills and live
So I keep doing this
Every shot that you don't take, you miss, ay
[Chorus: Cain]
I miss the hot summer days
Tell me who I am
Don't wanna be me
Tell me who I am, please
You remind me of her
Boxing with the mirror
Oh, woah, woah
[Outro: Cain]
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
I spend most my nights staring at the ceiling
I don't shed tears much, those are trapped feelings
Sometimes I stare at the sky, that's where my grandpa is
I wonder when I'll die and if I'll have accomplishments
