lyrics

I’m taking my glasses off / Because I can’t bear to see this world so clearly / It’s simply too much for me / My head can’t take another dose of misery, seriously / I’m taking my glasses off / Because I can’t bear to read the headlines anymore / The greed and stupidity / My heart can’t take this lack of humanity, it’s insanity / I’m blurring out the edges just to find myself some peace / Until all of this agony starts to decrease / I’m blurring out the edges just to give my eyes some rest / Until someone writes a story that I don’t detest / Trust me, it’s for the best / So I’m taking my glasses off / I’m putting my headphones on / Because I can’t bare to hear the sounds you’re making with each other / Brother against brother / The pitch is always wrong / Flat throughout the verses and too sharp on the chorus / Cannot be good for us / I’m blurring out the edges just to find myself some peace / Until all of this agony starts to decrease / I’m blurring out the edges just to give my ears some rest / Until someone sings a song that I don’t detest / Trust me, it’s for the best / A story I don’t detest / Trust me, it’s for the best / I’m taking my glasses off / Putting my headphones on / Hey Scott! Yeah? Isn’t this a great view? I don’t know. Why not? I can’t see it. Why? Because I took my glasses off
