We didn't see the wind We didn't see the rain We didn't see the way His eyes were sinking in We didn't hear the storm We didn't hear the thunder We didn't hear the way His voice grew vacant We didn't feel the humidity We didn't feel the cold We didn't feel the way His hands gripped ours We didn't taste the water We didn't taste the salt We didn't taste the way His words that were meant to invoke We didn't smell the air We didn't smell the tang We didn't smell the way He didn't take a shower We didn't see him heal We didn't hear him cry We didn't feel him here We didn't taste his pain We didn't smell his self-hate We didn't want to look That far into him

We Were Blind
We didn't see the wind We didn't see the rain We didn't see the way His eyes were sinking in We didn't hear the storm We didn't hear the thunder We didn't hear the way His voice grew vacant We didn't feel the humidity We didn't feel the cold We didn't feel the way His hands gripped ours We didn't taste the water We didn't taste the salt We didn't taste the way His words that were meant to invoke We didn't smell the air We didn't smell the tang We didn't smell the way He didn't take a shower We didn't see him heal We didn't hear him cry We didn't feel him here We didn't taste his pain We didn't smell his self-hate We didn't want to look That far into him
