Shield Your Eyes

Jawbreaker
(album: Etc.)

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.
