From the recording Rome
Blind is a song about a man that goes to prison for robbing a bank, and when the prison lights on fire, he stays in the cell to burn because he knows it’s his only way to be free, written by DGonemanband on the album “Rome”
Lyrics
Sitting in a Cell carving days in a wall
Realizing now I thought I knew it all
Really learned my lesson for the last time
I Remember confessing to the past crime
Got enough debt that it got froze
Got no money and a cocaine nose
I was in a bank, but my mind was elsewhere
But does anybody else care?
I remember it like it was yesterday
It’s like I can still hear the clerk say
I told you that there ain’t no money here
Listen, bitch, there’s a barrel in your ear
Thought I felt something from behind
Close my eyes to fire two shots blind
I was in a bank, but my mind was elsewhere
But does anybody else care?
It was a long time ago I know
I lived my life blindly, and now I see
To forget the past and make this last
I must leave I must be free
Now I don’t worry about money no more
Just waiting to die on a cement floor
So when I heard the guard yell evacuate
Everyone was to the bars, even my cellmate
I could smell the fire in the air
I could see the flames and I didn’t care
I was in a cell, but my mind was elsewhere
But does anybody else care?
It was a long time ago I know
When I lived my life blindly, and now I see
To forget the past and make this last
I must leave I must be free
