Blindside
Written By: Raul A. Rodriguez

love is blind my friend
so don't be afraid to cut out your eyes
you were more blind then, after all you can still sense a lie
but removing them will reveal what's inside
now you just look like an unreliable tour guide

tourist:
how can you lead the way, if you can't see the way?

guide:
I'm still capable...

tourist:
you can't lead the way if you can't see the way!

guide:
a blind man is still capable...

commitment is what's in, that is, if love is what you're looking for
if so, it'll be the 11th door to your left on the "14th" floor
but don't forget that only 13 floors really exist
to curse love with such an ominous number
would be to curse mankind's very happiness
and bad lucks the last thing we need
when falling into traps like curiosity
who hasn't fallen for that one before
I can hardly stop myself from walking through these other doors
going through every other one as I'd walk down the rows
an open door, or an open wound, now they seem so hard to close
curiosity may have gotten the best of me, but I've managed to survive
unlike that old cat who died, though I did manage to lose my pride
along with my stability, in that room labeled "insecurity"
I read the Braille, it just said "the truth"
an open door, more like an open wound, but who's going to close this door now?
I can't and I'm the only one who has access to these halls
it'll creek open any time of day, a violas playing songs of hate
songs I originally transcribed on guitar
I played them for her when I broke her heart
it makes me just want to go in and break things, but what kind of man would that make me?
I've got an appointment on the 14th floor, which I'm already late for
and this time, being blind is no excuse
once you finally reach that door, and she hears that you've walked through
being blind is no excuse, 'cause the girl you love, she's blind too

tourist:
I'm sorry, lead the way, neither can I see!

guide:
you're still capable darling...

tourist:
but I'm blind, how could you have such faith in me?

guide:
a blind man is still capable...

tourist:
but all the things we've said, and all we've done...

guide:
and yes we're both still capable,
but you and I both know, if this is love
this room is forever ours to share

tourist:
I should have had faith in you all along

guide:
we all make mistakes my dear
and I'm well aware of all of mine
faith in me was once faith in lies
but no more lies, only a kiss for every time
for every time one slipped from my lips
the fear of upsetting you has never been this strong

tourist:
I'm scared, this is my fear

guide:
don't be...

tourist:
promise me that love is here!

guide:
it's here, but you'll never be able to tell
for love, like us, is blind as well
you can still taste, and hear
and feel and smell, but love can only feel
I can feel the love right now
it's the overpopulation of butterflies in my stomach
and the feeling I get when I hold you close

tourist:
I've felt that before, but I thought it wasn't real

guide:
seeing may be believing
but you'll never capture the sight of love

tourist:
so you don't believe in love at first sight?

guide:
more like, love at first feeling...
even if we did have eyes
love would be our blindside...
