"Visually Impaired"

Perfection in front of me
And I'm falling to my knees
A beauty I've never seen
Like out of a dream

And it's falling all around me
The stars in the sky as they watch through the trees
And it's falling off of me
The burden of a lifelong disease

[chorus]
Watch me, move the whole world
Till it's me, that you see
Watch me, catching on fire
In the back of your mind
I've been here all this time

Perfection in front of me
And I'm calling conspiracy
Is it just too much to believe
Or am I tired of seeing

Have I fallen too deep?
The light through the cracks is what keeps me breathing
I'm just trying to keep
Myself from going too far beneath

[chorus]
Watch me, move the whole world
Till it's me, that you see
Watch me, catching on fire
In the back of your mind
I've been here all this time
Trying to break the pieces free

It's never enough
It's never enough for me
You can blind my eyes with disbelief
But I'm never going to see
What's in front of me
What's in front of me

Wait now, listen to the sound
Of a steady pulse beating
There, in the background
It's calming, and I'm content to know
I could never visualize it
No, not ever on my own
