Blackout by Jon Estrada Lyrics
[Pre-Chorus]
You playing with a set of live wires
One wrong snip and you blackout
Ain’t you tired of reigniting the fire
Only to watch as it go back out
Sound the alarm
Send that sonar
I wouldn’t budge
If you brought in a whole barge
I feel so close
But still so far
Ain’t no last call
Cause there ain’t no bar
[Chorus]
Stuck in my frame couldn’t see the big picture
Write my name with a smokestack
Had a lil angel keep me warm through the winter
But seasons all change and I know that
Cold summers on horizon
Lost a lot time in those eyes but I’m better using my lids
It ain’t often the time
I tried to be your friend cause I couldn’t be mine
No I couldn’t be mine
I couldn’t be mine
Had me wishing I’d go back to being blind
[Verse]
Tell me
Better to lose your sense of self or stay selfish?
When I’m at the helm, who on defenses?
Got you acting reckless
Making far from your best guesses
Close to stepping off ledges
Watch your step or turn eggshell-ish
I’m thinking nothing what it’s cracked up to be
Expectations passing me by like a tumbleweed
Sun beaming
Eyes red as superman seeing
Seeking freedom but still closing up the cage every day
Seeming more and more just like a needle in hay
Not so easy but believe when I say I’m getting tired of this same old
Summer came and went but I just stayed cold
Sad to say I needed you to break the mold
Couldn’t face it on my own
[Chorus]
Stuck in my frame couldn’t see the big picture
Write my name with a smokestack
Had a lil angel keep me warm through the winter
But seasons all change and I know that
Cold summers on horizon
Lost a lot time in those eyes but I’m better using my lids
It ain’t often the time
I tried to be your friend cause I couldn’t be mine
No I couldn’t be mine
I couldn’t be mine
Had me wishing I’d go back to being blind
[Outro]
Can’t rewind, can’t rewind
On the other side, on the other side
Can’t go back to being blind
You playing with a set of live wires
One wrong snip and you blackout
Ain’t you tired of reigniting the fire
Only to watch as it go back out
Sound the alarm
Send that sonar
I wouldn’t budge
If you brought in a whole barge
I feel so close
But still so far
Ain’t no last call
Cause there ain’t no bar
[Chorus]
Stuck in my frame couldn’t see the big picture
Write my name with a smokestack
Had a lil angel keep me warm through the winter
But seasons all change and I know that
Cold summers on horizon
Lost a lot time in those eyes but I’m better using my lids
It ain’t often the time
I tried to be your friend cause I couldn’t be mine
No I couldn’t be mine
I couldn’t be mine
Had me wishing I’d go back to being blind
[Verse]
Tell me
Better to lose your sense of self or stay selfish?
When I’m at the helm, who on defenses?
Got you acting reckless
Making far from your best guesses
Close to stepping off ledges
Watch your step or turn eggshell-ish
I’m thinking nothing what it’s cracked up to be
Expectations passing me by like a tumbleweed
Sun beaming
Eyes red as superman seeing
Seeking freedom but still closing up the cage every day
Seeming more and more just like a needle in hay
Not so easy but believe when I say I’m getting tired of this same old
Summer came and went but I just stayed cold
Sad to say I needed you to break the mold
Couldn’t face it on my own
[Chorus]
Stuck in my frame couldn’t see the big picture

No I couldn’t be mine
I couldn’t be mine
Had me wishing I’d go back to being blind
[Outro]
Can’t rewind, can’t rewind
On the other side, on the other side
Can’t go back to being blind
