"Blindness Is Kind" lyrics

Temptation, illusion
The visions that keep you up all night
Nightmares in colors
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
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 your eyes
There's no use in hiding
They'll know if you're lying

You heard all 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 your eyes
There's no use in hiding
They'll know if you're lying

Blindness is kind
Blindness is kind
It's in your eyes
It's in your eyes
