Blinded Eyes from Go! by Chris von Sneidern

Blinded Eyes C. von Sneidern

I thought of a statue, grey and hard as stone
stubborn like the ways I know you are
Move enough to suit the change today
but can you tell me how to see the changes?

'cause I can't see a thing with blinded eyes
give my tired eyes a better face
'cause I can't see my way when I am down
and the hardest work is mine all the time

I see the old man heard it all
his hindsight genius pissed-off talk's real nice
Oh, yeah, it's inspiration to us all that heard
but his knowing stare still sets me back tonight

A peaceful place I thought I had at night
turns out to be my nightmare in the light

'cause I can't see a thing with blinded eyes
give my tired eyes a better face
'cause I can't see my way when I am down
and the hardest work is mine all the time
