The music video for the album's second single, "Blind", was released October 19, 2005. It stars Tina Majorino (most well known as Deb from the MTV film Napoleon Dynamite) and features several other up-and-coming young actors such as Sarch McClain, Stephen Cheung, and Andy Walters.
The video features a teenage goth (played by Tina Majorino), who lives with her neglectful father (Kevin Farley) in a house without her mother. She sees her father talking with a lover as she asks, "Who is this?", clearly indicating that it is not her mother, but just one of presumably many women her father has had in the house; he responds by throwing her journal & her books as he says, "IT'S MY HOUSE!!!," and pulling her hair. The teenager goes to the small room watching the band perform. She sees her dad and the woman kissing each other as she sits on the staircase, worrying, and her dad hands her some money, presumably to bribe her into not telling her mother. Majorino, now, is seen wearing a white tank top, watching the concert in a big space, singing along to their music. Next, she is seen sitting on the couch, watching TV and writing in her diary, all at the same time. Her father changes the channel and grabbing her diary. The girl finally has enough and flees away, packs her things, and goes away. On her way out, she sees her dad kissing another woman, signifying that he isn't going to change.
