The Price of Clarity

I’m disappointed it’s true

In myself for believing

That I could be anything

But disappointed in you

It used to be my priority

To learn to see with clarity

I should have learned long ago

How dangerous it is to hope

And time again you prove me right

And every day I have to fight

Much harder than before

And every night I go to bed

And think about the day ahead

And wonder how much more?

Sometimes I wish I didn’t see with such precision

That I had everybody else’s blurry vision

And could see the world in the same light

‘Cos I don’t like what I see when I open my eyes

The grin behind the smiles and the truth behind the lies

But I can’t keep them closed all the time

I constantly blame myself

Doubt and question every time

I let it enter my mind

That I could trust someone else

I now see the severity

Of seeing with such clarity

I should have learned long ago

How dangerous it is to hope

And time again you prove me right

And every day I have to fight

Much harder than before

And every night I go to bed

And think about the day ahead

And wonder how much more?

Sometimes I wish I didn’t see with such precision

That I had everybody else’s blurry vision

And could see the world in the same light

‘Cos I don’t like what I see when I open my eyes

The grin behind the smiles and the truth behind the lies

But I can’t keep them closed all the time

Now I know the price of clarity

Is to sacrifice normality

I should have learned long ago

How dangerous it is to hope
