"Misfortune Tellers"

People look at you through their crystal balls
And tell your every move
Giving insight in spite of their blindness
Telling you what to choose

Step out of this self-fulfilling prophecy
It ain't the future, just a way to hold you down
When everyone's so set on what they think you're gonna be
Block out the useless sound

[chorus]
Our eyes can't see a thing
No, our eyes can't see a thing
But your hands can make
A difference, they can shape
Just who you are
And that's nothing they can tell you

People say that they see right through you
Know your every move
Before you thought or plotted any action
They're already predicting what you'll do

And don't it feel just like a cage
When you're puppetted by chains
The power of your choice constrained
And you're feeling the pain
Of never knowing who you are
Never knowing who you are

[chorus]
Our eyes can't see a thing
No, our eyes can't see a thing
But your hands can make
A difference, they can shape
Just who you are
And that's nothing they can tell you

So long since you've seen a trace of dawn
Caught under the current of people shouting what they want
Tell me who you're going to be
Tell me who you're going to be
Not in the lines they've drawn, but beyond what they can see
'Cause they can't see

[chorus]
Their eyes can't see a thing
No, their eyes can't see a thing
But your hands can make
A difference, they can shape
You have the power to change
And that's nothing they can tell you
