Story Behind the Song
"I wrote this song with vocalist/lyricist Jon Donnelly. He had been staying at my house briefly, after his parents kicked him out, and the lyrics are about that situation."
Lyrics
"Blind Eye"
There is a word that no longer fits into my vocabulary, my heart or my mind.
I used to believe in my father's eyes, now there's nothing left but lies,
I used to know that my mother would always be there.
Now I'm left screaming out.
Why at this point am I forsaken now? At what age is being a youth not allowed?
Oh, why at this point do I continue to plead? What did I do to lose my family?
When I was young I was so naive to believe that my life would be fucking Full House.
I used to concede in everything in everything I was told, now his ancient opinions are growing old, whenever I cried she'd be right by my side.
She's happy, she's missing, and I just run and hide.
Why at this point am I forsaken now? At what age is being a youth not allowed?
Oh, why at this point do I continue to plead? What did I do to lose my family?
Why was I left all alone? Can't really fend for myself yet, father.
You change the lock and you change your heart. Now please wake up, oh God, we're homeless.
And you, you stay quiet, make excuses. Where are you this time, mother?
I always stuck up, was always on your side. Why do they turn a blind eye?
Why at this point am I forsaken now? At what age is being a youth not allowed?
Oh, why at this point do I continue to plead? What did I do to lose my family?
