Blind Lyrics

Michael Gira 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

I don't say 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

And show some understanding, for the lonely fool

Because when l'm drinking, I'm out of control

No I was never young, and nothing has transpired

And when I look in the mirror, I feel dead, I feel cold,

I am blind.
