Now some of us are weak, and some endure
And some people live their lives, 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



...
And 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 could see 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
And show some undentanding, for the lonely fool
Because when l'm drinking, l'm out of control


No I was never young, and nothing has transpired
And when I look in the mirror, I feel dead, I feel cold,

I am blind.
