Bitter and Blind

rinyville

Oh mama, there’s a battle in my head
A raging fight
About good and evil
day and night
and wrong and right
Do I follow my instinct
Without reason
Is the truth just a word
For an act of treason
Am I whistling in darkness
Or blinded by the light

Oh mama, I’m lost in a maze
In this frame of mind
Of being bitter
But trying so hard to be kind
Do I stagger and stumble
Or wither and wait
Do I access the entry
get lost at the gate
Unaware of my way out
Or what I left behind

Oh mama, I’m walking in circles
I will ask you straight-out, and outright
How come all these barriers and hurdles
Are things I can no longer fight
Oh mama, this battle is raging
I just can’t get it out of my mind
The devils and demons I’m chasing
Have turned me bitter and blind

Oh mama, there’s a battle in my head
A raging fight
Is it truth or tale
An illusion or delight
Is evil among me
Or am I among evil
is good just a bubble
I want to believe in
is left the only opposite
Of right

Oh mama, I’m walking in circles
I will ask you straight-out, and outright
How come all these barriers and hurdles
Are things I can no longer fight
Oh mama, this battle is raging
I just can’t get it out of my mind
The devils and demons I’m chasing
Have turned me bitter and blind

So bitter and blind
So bitter and blind
So bitter and blind
So bitter and blind
