This song is about the struggle of maneuvering the worlds condition as a Christian and seeking guidance from God.
I would like to receive feedback on my lyrics. Are my lyrics actually good or are my listeners blinded by the music behind the words.

(Verse 1)
I see hate around every turn
It seems some want to watch the world burn
They’re showing all the children things they shouldn’t see
And maybe seeing all these things is what’s wrong with me
I wish I could turn the lights off and not have to see
the condition we all live in so I’m asking please
(Chorus)
Close my eyes
It’s a hopeless fight
When all I see is misery
And lord its killing me
Close my eyes
Don’t lead me by sight
Shut away my senses
And give me understanding
Close my eyes
And guide me through the night
Lead me by faith and not by sight
(Verse 2)
I wish I didn’t have to see
The news and all its misery
Worlds at war for everything
And people always arguing
I need some peace
In a world so diseased
My eyes are often heavy
Too tired from what I see
Chorus)
Close my eyes
It’s a hopeless fight
When all I see is misery
And lord its killing me
Close my eyes
Don’t lead me by sight
Shut away my senses
And give me understanding
Close my eyes
And guide me through the night
Lead me by faith and not by sight
(Outro)
I’m angry at everything
And God I don’t wanna be
Cause we’re all just a product of what we see
(Chorus)
So, Close my eyes
It’s a hopeless fight
When all I see is misery
And lord its killing me
Close my eyes
Don’t lead me by sight
Shut away my senses
And give me understanding
Close my eyes
And guide me through the night
Lead me by faith and not by sight
Close my eyes
And guide me through the night
Lead me by faith and not by sight

I like it. The lyrics are good in expressing your feelings. The message is clear of not wanting to be affected by what we see, but to walk by faith. Not overpowered by the music.
I’d change is the “killing me” and change the “hopeless” fight part because life and death are in the power of the tongue so don’t call that into being ???? Try to find better words to add or replace there. It can be as simple as “like a…”
