[BLIND SPOT] 

your hands

all over this crime

I'll just 

pretend 

I'm blind 

your heart

darker than I thought 

I'll just 

pretend 

it's fine 

my blindness 

can save you

my blindness 

can't save me

a ghost 

sits in my heart 

silence 

louder than a shot 

watch me

as I disappear 

your sin

erasing who I was

your digits 

all over this crime
