Shield Your Eyes

There was a sun once.
It lit the whole damn sky.
It kept everything,
everything alive.
And there was a man once.
He looked it straight in the eye.
He saw everything.
Everything. He went blind.

The truth burns bright.
There's too much there sometimes.
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds.
Best to keep your eyes.
Stare at the sidewalk lines.
Let lies lie, don't let them shine.

The blind man staggers.
And he grabs at his eyes.
He can't do anything.
Everything is a lie.
Now he sits around.
And he stares at the walls.
He can't do anything,
anything at all.

The truth burns bright.
There's too much there sometimes.
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds.
Best to keep your eyes.
Stare at the sidewalk lines.
Let lies lie, don't let them shine.

Shield your eyes from all this misery.
Come along. Come along.
