Do You See Me As I See Me
Do you see me as I see me?
All broken and cracked
Walking around with this pain in my back
Praying to God that I can put down this sack.
Do you see me as I see me?
Carrying around pain
Pain that I cannot just wash down the drain
Although rain seems to relate to the pain
I feel as though I'm going Insane.
Do you see me as I see me?
Carrying around guilt
Guilt that was only built
By me covering my wrongs with a quilt
Pretending as if it was gilt.
Do you see me as I see me?
Carrying around sin
That cuts me so deeply like a piece of tin
Now my skin is dark and thin
Only to realize I will never win.
Do you see me as I see me?
Still carrying my sack that I have not put down
Because what goes around comes back round
Do you see me as I see me?
No, you do not see me
As the monster I am to be
You see me as I let you see
So you cannot see the sack that forces me
To get on one knee
And beg to let me be.
