Blind Eyes Open

I was wearing blinders to stave off the reminders
Of your image
Never contemplating the incinerating
Of my bondage
The rites of spring had no meaning
In my brain
And I could cling, eyes sickening
Just the same
And all the time you saw me
You could not know me

Now you've made blind eyes open
And sunlight streams in
Everything's clear as crystal
Enlightenment

Like a frozen snowfield, I could never reveal
My true colors
I would never listen to all that I was missing
With the others
You stepped into my field of view
And triggered
My cupid's snare, who would have dared
To figure
That all the time you saw me
You could not know me

Now you've made blind eyes open
And sunlight streams in
Everything's clear as crystal
Enlightenment

I curse my warped perspective
Just when I least expected it
The tables turned, the candles burned
At both ends
And my nerves sent sensational headlines
To my brain

Now you've made blind eyes open
And sunlight streams in
Everything's clear as crystal
Enlightenment
Now you've made blind eyes open
And sunlight streams in
Everything's clear as crystal
Enlightenment
Now you've made blind eyes open
