lyrics

i close my eyes and wonder
if i could ever be
as beautiful and as blind
as when you made me
sweet, the darkness touched my lips
i can't forget the taste
naked, in the open
i cover up my shame

wipe the paint from my eyes
i want to see, i want to believe
with every part of me
your burden, my disguise

reveal to me your mystery
and quench my curiousity

what could it be to know all things?
to see like God?
know the difference between truth or a lie?
i cannot see how i could go on
not knowing everything

i'm afraid i can't return
take back what i've learned
so run away with me
clear your cluttered mind

thank you for the option
but here, you take the wheel
your vehicle's been totaled
damaged beyond repair
it had a faulty sensor
the airbag did not deploy
the doctors say you will survive,
but your innocence is destroyed
