Bill Rieflin - Blind lyrics

Now some of us are weak And some endure And some people live their life In 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 prayer for anyone It doesn't do any good Please don't ask me questions They'd just be misunderstood And if you could step inside me And 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 weak of will Because when we're drinking We can never be filled Show some understanding For the lonely fool Because when I'm drinking I'm out of control I was never young 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
