Blind - Swans

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 a 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

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’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, mmm

I am blind, mmm

I am blind, mmm

Mmm
