Scrooge Kid - Obstacles lyrics

[Hook] Obstacles can look a lot like building blocks Depending on the light One moment my goals are in reach Next thing they're out of sight I can seem to right what I've wrong No matter what I write I can't see the bright side of life Trying with all my might Obstacles can look a lot like building blocks Depending on the light One moment my goals are in reach Next thing they're out of sight I can seem to right what I've wrong No matter what I write I can't see the bright side of life Trying with all my might [Verse 1] I bought new gla**es to experience new vision The frames didn't fit unless I moved with precision Dropped them on the floor, now there's scratches on the lenses Seeing things that don't exist, affecting my decisions When I bought them new I knew they'd change my face forever Custom built by hand and the case was made of leather Never took them off 'cause I like me in them better Never saw the day that we'd no longer be together Remember seeing 20/20, maybe I was dreaming 'Long as I remember, blurry is how the world was seeming I was a visionary child, viewing clear and scheming Somewhere in there I woke up and was having trouble reading Things were looking worse with each decision that I made And who's to notice when one's ocular starts to degrade There were times I left, in retrospect I should have stayed Instead I headed right into the wall and broke the foundation that we laid [Hook] Obstacles can look a lot like building blocks Depending on the light One moment my goals are in reach Next thing they're out of sight I can seem to right what I've wrong No matter what I write I can't see the bright side of life Trying with all my might Obstacles can look a lot like building blocks Depending on the light One moment my goals are in reach Next thing they're out of sight I can seem to right what I've wrong No matter what I write I can't see the bright side of life Trying with all my might [Verse 2] I'm losing focus and conviction If seeing is believing, you could say I'm faithless living I can't make out my path, time to change the prescription I promised I'd call my mother before I have a conniption (Obstacles) The steps you take when you can't see straight I'm sitting by a rough sea, and still ain't seeing no breaks I did it by the book, I gave it everything that it takes I even wore them longer than I should, and I get no thanks I tried professional repairs, no warranty for wear-and-tear I'm sorry, but perhaps you'd like a new pair? No thanks, I'll wear them more (ugh) these are an eye sore J reminds me there's many gla**es in the eye store (Obstacles) Reflecting on the pairs that I wore Most of them I would have given an eye for Without them, I don't see meaning Don't see the mess, I've neglected apartment cleaning Seemingly out of options, tired of breaking the merchandise The value added never seems to match the purchase price And God forbid I ever take advice Like I'm the only one who doesn't see I'm not meant for this hazy life I give the gla** a wipe, my life's a spectacle Pa**ed up some choice designer frames, though I'm susceptible Lasik consultation said my vision is correctable Left the doctor's office, and my specs in the receptacle [Hook] Obstacles can look a lot like building blocks Depending on the light One moment my goals are in reach Next thing they're out of sight I can seem to right what I've wrong No matter what I write I can't see the bright side of life Trying with all my might Obstacles can look a lot like building blocks Depending on the light One moment my goals are in reach Next thing they're out of sight I can seem to right what I've wrong No matter what I write I can't see the bright side of life Trying with all my might [Outro] Obstacles Obstacles
