With Eyes Closed - Kalai

Excuse me Dr. Lumpy I’m a traveling one

This two-toned minus white night life is the world I come from

And I have here in a bag of wisdom truth-saying seeds

The flowers of which, however, will lead to belief in what we see

Though I have no need for vision, I can sing in color

So many lives lived with eyes closed

Now you must show the path that

shame the bath that washed out my ink

So I can chase to meet the beast I seek even with springs on my feet

And when reflection lies at different times there’s one thing left to do

I cast sight on my mind ignoring the tides that render pale-face views

Cause I have no need for vision I can sing in color

An inward sigh will paint you in every shade desired

Your wandering eyes will fail you tightened shut or open wide
