This song, with lyrics by Glen Phillips and music by the entire band, was originally written and recorded as part of the band’s efforts for their 1991 album fear. The song was shelved though because some felt it was too catchy and sounded too much like an effort at a hit single.

[Verse 1]
It's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my head's full of things that I can't mention
It seems that I usually get things right
But I can't understand what I did last night
And it's hard to rely on my own good senses
When I miss so much that requires attention
I have to laugh at myself sometimes
And I can see that I'm not blind
[Chorus]
There's little relief
Give us reprieve
Oh
For all the things I've left behind
I'm positive that I'm not blind
[Verse 2]
I'm not afraid things won't get better
But it feels like this has gone on forever
You have to cry with your own blue tears
Have to laugh with your own good cheer
And it's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my head's full of things that I can't mention
Seems I usually get things right
But I can't understand what I did last night
[Chorus]
There's little relief
Give us reprieve
Oh
Imagining the world outside
I'm positive that I'm not blind
[Bridge]
I can't be hard on you
'Cause you know I've been there too
Learned a lot of things from you
[Chorus]
Oh, life gives little release
Give us reprieve
Oh
When everyone is cold as ice
I clench my fists and close my eyes
Imagining the world outside
And I can see that I'm not blind
