The Light That Made Me Blind

from Abridgement by Icicle

/

lyrics

A younger version of me
Who wasn’t completely free
Invited me to see
A choice I did not make

And as I gazed intently
Where this choice of mine had sent me
I hungered for a way
To bring me back that day

So that I could choose again
Because in this choice of mine
I had left the light behind
The light that made me blind

To think that money matters
And as I walked away
The chains began to shatter

But that was long ago
So long ago as though
I didn’t choose that choice

Now I’m driving this Rolls Royce
So accustomed to these chains
I only feel them when it rains
As the raindrops hit the pane

So I hang my head in shame
Oh, how wonder who’s insane
Is it the beggar with his bane?
Or the top hat with his cane

If only I could choose again
Because in this choice of mine
I had left the light behind
The light that made me blind

To think that money matters
And as I walked away
These chains began to shatter
