Blindness Is Kind

Temptation, illusion

The visions that keep you up all night

Nightmares in color

And daydreams in dull black and white

Everyone's staring at you

They've all seen you at your worst

And that's most every night

At least when you're upright

The color of skin and of eyes

And the shades of the sky

You're judged and you're mocked

And for this, maybe blindness is kind

Everyone's staring at you

You're doing your best

But you don't feel quite right

At least not tonight

Your windows are all open wide

You wish you could shutter you eyes

There's no use in hiding

They'll know your lying

You've heard all of the tales

Read them all over, some of them twice

You've drawn all the parallels

Studied them, almost grown wise

Everyone's staring at you

It must be the spark

That seems to leap from your eyes

Well, isn't that nice

Your windows are all open wide

You wish you could shutter you eyes

There's no use in hiding

They'll know your lying

Blindness is kind

Blindness is kind

It's in your eyes

It's in your eyes
