Swans - Blind lyrics

Now some of us are weak and some endure
And some people live their life
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 say a prayer for anyone
It doesn’t do any good
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’m drinking
I am 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, mmm i am blind, mmm
I am blind, mmm mmm
