MYOPIA

[Intro] Yeah. L-A District nice. I only see what's close to me. That's the problem. [Verse 1] I've been living day to day, I don't look ahead I don't want to count the demons in my head Short term highs, yeah I chose that route Now the future looking like a blackout Neon lights, I confuse them for stars Every girl temporary, never get too far Smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins I was running from myself, never felt the pain They told me think ahead, I didn't listen back Tunnel vision life, yeah I live like that Every night a blur, every morning shame But I keep repeating, yeah it's all the same [Pre-Chorus] I can't see past tonight Everything fades out of sight I know I'm wasting time But I don't want to realize [Chorus] Myopia I only see what's in my face Pleasure now but I'm losing every race Trying to hide from the man I'll never be Close enough is all I ever see Myopia Future out of focus, out of frame I've been numb just to cover up the shame If I look too far I might break inside So I blur it out, let it pass me by [Verse 2] Used to have dreams bigger than the skyline Now I trade them all for a good time Another pill just to kill what I feel Another lie telling me this is real Girls come and go, I don't know their names Temporary love for permanent pain Every laugh got a hollow inside Every high got a deeper decline I see my reflection, I don't recognize That kid had hope, now we justify Opportunities I let decay All because I was scared of yesterday [Pre-Chorus] I can't see what I lost Only count what it cost If I faced what I missed I might not exist [Chorus] Myopia I only see what's in my face Pleasure now but I'm losing every race Trying to hide from the man I'll never be Close enough is all I ever see Myopia Future out of focus, out of frame I've been numb just to cover up the shame If I look too far I might break inside So I blur it out, let it pass me by [Bridge] Don't make me look, don't make me see What I could've been without this me I keep it close, I keep it dim 'Cause clarity would finish him [drums re-enter with building intensity] So I stay right here In the now, in the near Blind by choice, drown the noise [Chorus] Myopia Myopia I only see what's in my face Pleasure now but I'm losing every race Trying to hide from the man I'll never be Close enough is all I ever see Myopia Future out of focus, out of frame I've been numb just to cover up the shame If I look too far I might break inside So I blur it out, let it pass me by
