The Unblinding

from Opium by Clock Paradox

/

lyrics

Now that my eyes are no longer blinded by
misconducts of a staggering neglect
Set free from the restrictions of the process
of healing by faith towards the substance prescribed

And as I retreated from the ailments
of systematic brainwash by scholars acclaimed:
The true nature of the power we worship
unfolded to me as a preposterous scam

Now I can see in what we believe:
Lies upon lies - making profit off our lives

A world where the greed overthrows the nurturing of the ill
the definition of power is more desirable than the thrill...

Overthrow the omnipotence of the opium
And start claiming the credits and responsibilities
of yourself and all your actions, for at the end of the day:
the attempts to recuperate are vain if you don't have faith in yourself

All of this has become so evident to me:
we blindly believe in what we're told to do, who we are told to be
No wonder we forget who we truly are
within the framework of our very own identity

Unblinding

Now I can see in what we believe:
Lies upon lies - making profit off our lives

A world where the greed overthrows the nurturing of the ill
and the definition of power is more desirable than the thrill
of love and caring towards the weakest
in what we have the nerve to call a civilized society
