4. "Tunnel Vision"

A narrow mind, a narrow view
You only see what's in front of you
You're so blinded by the things you know
But what do you know

You only focus on the things
That you know that you can see
You don't see much when
You're looking through a hole, oh

You still can't see
All the beauty there can be
Once you open your eyes
I can't explain
This motion set in place
That made me realize

A world of black surrounding you
Unaware of this thing that's containing you
Is this really the place you call your home
Or is there more you want to know

There's a light in the distance you can see
That you told yourself you couldn't reach
But every step that take towards it's
One more to understanding

You still can't see
All the beauty there can be
Once you open your eyes
I can't explain
This motion set in place
That made me realize

When all you know is all you've ever seen
Where is the faith in all that you believe
You live like hope is just a fantasy
But it's here and now, you'll see

You'll see
All will see

But you won't believe
In the things that you don't see
Till you stop drawing lines
Like the wind in the trees
Or the air sculpting the seas
Some things you can't define

And you still can't see
All the beauty there can be
Until you open your eyes
In tunnel vision
You can't see what you're missing
The brighter part of life
