Blind Eye

This weeks project took a serious turn when I kept running into roadblocks on the track I working on. I decided to change it up last night so I could come back to that one later since it wasn't working out. I basically just decided I was going to build off the first thing I played, and this crappy little acoustic guitar broken chord thing came out so I ran with it. I didn't have enough time to edit, mix or even record a lot of takes today after finishing writing the lyrics and melodies for this, but even with that in mind I'm still pretty happy with this one. I am totally into the vibe of this track, but I keep thinking "Is this verbatim a National song???" So if anyone can pin that down, please let me know because its killing me. Anyways, there will be a part 2 for this so I can clean it up a little bit. Hope you enjoy the demo though!
Fun fact: This is probably the least processing any of you have heard on my vocals.
Lyrics:
Turned my head to all of it, I didnt mind
Thought I wasnt accountable, if I stayed blind
And now every contrite part of me
Knows that you wont pardon me
And I know this time I cut down to the artary
I thought that I was taking the easy way
That I could turn a blind eye to everything
Out of sight, out of mind, But the guilts just been refined
Now I’m stuck with the feeling of feeling left behind
This is not what I thought would emanate
Like the chill of autmn that warns of the cold
Like the crasp of a pattern that always takes hold
And now time will always excavate
Break it down and separate,
Fact into fiction, truth into lies
I thought that I was taking the easy way
That I could turn a blind eye to everything
Out of sight, out of mind, But the guilts just been refined
Now I’m stuck with the feeling of feeling left behind
This is not what I thought would emanate
