See Without My Eyes

(1, 2, 3)

You're seventeen without a purpose

Your teacher hates you, you feel worthless

Close your eyes, plug your ears

Remember that the future's near

Your friends don't see the world like you do

It's just something that you've been used to

Write a song, carry on

Remind yourself the future's long

And I can see without my eyes

The world and all its lies

I'm certain things will always be this way

So I never waste my time trying to confine myself

To life and all its stupid ways

Twenty-one you scratched the surface

And that year was your fucking saddest

Close your eyes, hide your tears

Talk to dad while he's still here

You're twenty-two the world is turning

And everyone on it is hurting

The cat has jumped right out the bag

Finding out this life's a drag

And I can see without my eyes

The world and all its lies

I'm certain things will always be this way

So I never waste my time trying to confine myself

To life and all its stupid ways

Oh, I don't know who they hoped that I would become

Oh, I don't know who they hoped that I would become
