Blindfold

The most closely guarded secret is a vision of ourselves
The knowledge of who we really are is a truth often hidden well
Our consciousness is veiled by methods of denial
Fixations addictions and habits to shade the facts for a while

Covering your eyes you can safely hide behind
The narrow band of evasion that lets yourself tell lies

What do you pretend not to know (covering your eyes)
When you put on your blindfold? (Willfully disguised)

Sightless and aimless you bump into reality
With your ersatz self-protection you miss opportunity
Romance strained, feelings unexplained
The comfortable familiar pain of aware-ness willingly constrained

Willfully disguised your understanding masked behind
The narrow band of evasion that lets yourself tell lies

What do you pretend not to know (covering your eyes)
When you put on your blindfold? (Willfully disguised)
