What You Saw
Did you see what you came to see?
The sunset over the mountains
The sights you paid for a few ounces
Magic paper is youth’s fountain
And you’ve already wasted thousands
Did you see what you came to see?
Smiling faces at you so surely
Little woman on her own journey
A lost soul in such a hurry
The mind can become so blurry
Did you see what you came to see?
Old men who want to trade their train ticket
Everyone’s faces looking so wicked
The black sky with the bright stars it printed
Those colors never looked so vivid
Did you see what you came to see?
A bamboo bridge over muddy water
A trail to paranoid hallucinations
Come on girl, walk a little farther
Troubled ways send an invitation
Did you see what you came to see?
Breaths the collarbone swallows
Drowning yourself in your own sorrow
You’ll shiver it out waiting for tomorrow
Locking yourself in your own shadow
Did you see what you came to see?
The innerworkings of your twisted mind
Wandering around and what do you find
Deep in your psyche is no longer in disguise
Inside your own head can be so unkind
Did you see what you came to see?
Did you see it?
Are you happy?
