Now some of us are weak, and some endure   Some people live their lives with a violence that's pure and clean   But I saw man cry once, down on his knees   In a corner of a darkened cell, and his pain meant nothing to me      But I was younger then   Young men never die   And I walked out in the sun   I was strong, clear-minded and blind      Now don't say a prayer for anyone   It doesn't do any good   Please don't ask me a question   It'd 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      I was never young   Nothing has transpired   And when I look in the mirror I feel dead, I feel cold   I am blind   I am blind   I am blind   I am blind
