Going Blind - coolanddark cover

I put on my best blindman shades especially for this one !!...another Dan Samples (coolanddark) original...Dan's original has an echo effect going on..and man..does it ever sound cool !...so I have a little echo going on too...I think its a cool song about paranoia.....and downing some drugs to block out all the fears...a very cool song !! It has a low french horn blowing the lonely melody in there..I should've mixed it in a little better...on the last verse I modulate up a whole step up to 'A'...just to change it up a bit...a couple lyric changes..a damn fun song to play !!...I messed up in a few places...but..kept 'er going !!

Going Blind - Words & Music by Dan Samples
Performed by Eddie629

Running in my sleep
running every waking hour of the day.
Gotta keep one step ahead
gotta keep one eye opened all the time.
They're coming after me,
they're coming after me...
and I don't know why ?
But I'm not scared, I won't hide
I can stand and take the lies
I'm going blind...I'm going blind.

Gonna make my daily bread,
gonna knead it with strong hands and watch it grow.
Then I will rise above,
yes I will surely rise above it all.
Sit here on my chair,
as high as a kite,
with a silent laugh....
So fire your poison words
and sarcastic rhymes
I'm going blind, I'm going blind.

I'm on novocaine,
I'm on anti-pyretics now.
Nothing gonna penetrate,
I've got a heart and soul made of stone.
So do with me what you will,
hang the blame on me...
I like the pain !
You're all becoming blurred
the world is turning black
I'm going blind, I'm going blind.

Hi Shane !!...thanks for taking another gander...are you REALLY going blind ?...I don't understand..if you are? then I am super sorry....this song isn't really about REALLY going blind literally...its about taking the drugs that make you blind to the pain..of Paranoia...thats the way I take it anyway...cheers bro !
