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
Now, don't save a prayer for anyone
It doesn't do any good
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 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 am drinking
I am out of control
No, I was never young
And nothing has transpired
But when I look in the mirror
I feel dead, I feel cold, I am blind
I am blind
I am blind
I am blind
