Preferring solitude to a support system, Matthew tells neither family nor friends of his illness, but a chance meeting with Diana Campbell (Khandi Alexander), a single mother scrambling for change on the streets, results in a friendship. As Diana helps Matthew deal with his denial about his condition, he fights to make sure her troubled teenage sons stay on the right track.

Vocal tracks
"Lighthouse For The Blind" Some faces give nothing away Like shadows they drift across the day and to waste the light is such a crime on my way to the lighthouse of the blind
I wish my hands were free of stain I wish that sight wasn't always a strain I know it's hidden deep in the design on my way to the lighthouse for the blind
"Refuge In The Truth" For a seed to take root in such poor soil Not even the millions of a miser could fertilize We could be left for the traffic and plow into the night One more for the dawn to hypnotize
If I can take refuge in what tomorrow's supposed to bring If I can take refuge in a sad song that it sings If I can take refuge in always having crouth then you can take refuge in the truth
I know so much, my blood runs with ash Just like Vesuvius or maybe Johnny Cash Was I born innocent or was I born a fool If you never give anything away what you got turns against you
If I can find refuge in this beautiful night If I can find refuge making sure I'm always right If I can find refuge reliving all the dreams of youth, then you can find refuge in the truth
"Nothing Is Going To Touch Me" Nothing's ever gonna touch me Nothing's gonna tear me apart I'm okay, I'm okay 'cause I'm half apart
Nothing's ever gonna touch me Nothing's gonna tear me apart I'm okay, I'm okay 'cause I'm half apart
"Meteor" Your sundial blind face watches the clouds pass you over They rob you of your powers and disappear from view Your magic trick doves add up to zero stuffed with cotton wool The train - not to see you just to fly the jet stream above us all
Like a meteor that falls, it doesn't know what's waiting for it in the air Project on to stars your breath and despair Our hopes are even beyond what we can remember Our hopes are even beyond our hunger
