at the exit door

what we don't know is what we leave behind

doors have been closed and silences remain

this is the kingdom of the truly blind

the ones who do not speak keep soundest mind

for nothing in this realm has yet seemed plain

what we don't know is what we leave behind

we strip ourselves of all that might hope bind

no further need to stave off the old pain

this is the kingdom of the truly blind

for what we lacked not one of us had pined

we did not think we'd come to it again

what we don't know is what we leave behind

the processes that had been misaligned

have been corrected with a lot of strain

this is the kingdom of the truly blind

the name we have is of another kind

we struggle but we choose not to abstain

what we don't know is what we leave behind

this is the kingdom of the truly blind
