Lyrics for Blind

Now, some of us are weak And some endure And some people live their lives With a violence that's pure and clean But I saw a man cry once Down on his knees In the corner of a darkened cell And his pain meant nothing to me But I was younger then And young men never die When I walked out in the Sun I was strong, clear-minded and blind Now, don't save a prayer for anyone It doesn't do any good And please, don't ask me a question You'll just be misunderstood And if you could step inside me You'd feel what hatred brings And if you saw with my eyes You'd see what self-deception means I was younger once And I created a lie And though my body was strong I was self-deluded, confident and blind Now, show some pity For the weak of will Because when we're drinking We can never be filled Show some understanding For the lonely fool Because when I am drinking I am out of control No, I was never young And nothing has transpired But when I look in the mirror I feel dead, I feel cold, I am blind I am blind I am blind I am blind
