Lyrics:

Blind these eyes
Who never tried
To lose temptation
I'm so scared
Where's the hesitation?
You so easily proved
That you could save a man
I am that man

It's better off this way
To be deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to be the way I am, I am
It's better off this way
Than be groping for the flame
Than to be the way I am, I am

Still this tongue for I am hung
By this wicked notion
Tame the beast, release
The noose I've woven
O, wasted tears
Dripping from my tongue
Well I'm hung, hung

It's better off this way
To be deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to be the way I am, I am
It's better off this way
Than be groping for the flame
Than to be the way I am, I am

Crooked path you never asked
You just left me there
And I deal with the aftermath
And you don't even care
O, crooked feet
You nimbly meet
The place of my fears

It's better off this way
To be deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to be the way I am, I am
It's better off this way
Than be groping for the flame
Than to be the way I am, I am

It's better off this way
To be deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to be the way I am, I am
It's better off this way
Than be groping for the flame
Than to be the way I am, I am
