Black-Lens Glasses

Black-lens glasses,
How can you see?
With the veil
Over those eyes,
What are you
Missing out on?
Black-lens glasses,
I refuse to be in
Your peripheral vision.
Just take off those
Damned glasses
For a little while.
Black-lens glasses,
What world is there?
You haven't seen at all,
And you never will,
Unless you take off
Those paralyzing glasses.
Black-lens glasses,
There's someone who
Can show you the world,
But with painted lenses,
You'll never see her,
And you'll die blind.
Black-lens glasses,
Just see, for once:
See me, because I can.
I can show you things
You've never seen,
Save you from your fate.
Black-lens glasses,
Just take them off.
Take them off,
Have a look or two,
Learn what beauty is,
Give the world a chance.
Black-lens glasses,
The world might be
Good for you.
