when i'm blind

when will i realize when i'm blind
when will i realize when i'm blind
stars fall down
burn the ground
no one makes a sound
waters rise
drown the skies
no one seems surprised
i got lost
i got lost
i got lost
i got lost
i got lost
i got lost
when will i realize when i'm blind
when i'm blind i'll see
what is wrong with me
when will i realize when i'm blind
when i'm blind i'll see
what is wrong with me

i captioned this picture of gus blind. he's not blind, but he was confused in the dark with his eyes glowing red and i thought blind. maybe it was me. maybe my thought was blind. did i show this picture before? i don't recall. i do remember watching the talking heads video for blind and i've thought of blindness as a spiritual darkness and as a paradoxical light. there are songs about blindness and there is blindness. the daily loss. i feel that blind today. that love turns to grief as vision turns to blindness.
