Seeing Black

(album: Blessed - 2011)

How did you come up with the date and time?
You didn't tell me you changed your mind
How could I have been so blind?
I didn't know you changed your mind

When you made the decision to get off this ride
Did you run out of places to go and hide?
Did you know everybody would be surprised
When you made the decision to get off this ride?

When you made the decision to jump ship
Once and for all, lose your grip
Did you wax the decks to make it easier to slip
When you made the decision to jump ship?

When did you start seeing black?
Was there too much good you felt you lacked?
Was there too much weight riding on your back?
When did you start seeing black?

When did you start seeing red?
Did you see me standing over your bed?
Did you hear anything I said?
When did you start seeing red?

When did you start seeing white?
Tell me, baby, what was it like?
Was it when you received your last rites?
When did you start seeing white?

Did you use a compass to get out of this place?
Did you ever hear my voice, did you see my face?
Did you finally get tired of running the race?
Did you use a compass to get out of this place?

Did you feel your act was the final truth?
The dramatic ending of a misspent youth
Did you really feel you had all the proof?
Did you feel your act was the final truth?

Was it hard to finally pull the plug?
Was it hard to receive that final hug?
Whel evil triumphed over love
Was it hard to finally pull the plug?

When did you start seeing black?
Was there too much good you felt you lacked?
Was there too much weight riding on your back?
When did you start seeing black?

When did you start seeing red?
Did you see me standing over your bed?
Did you hear anything I said?
When did you start seeing red?

When did you start seeing white?
Tell me, baby, what was it like?
Was it when you received your last rites?
When did you start seeing white?
