To Be Seen

Is this the face that you gave to me?
Do I belong to myself?
Am I the same when you look at me?
Or am I somebody else?
Hm-mm-mm, hm-mm-mm, mm

I watch the movie you play for me
I am the face on the screen
I put the words where they're supposed to be
I would do anything to be seen
Hm-mm, hm-mm, mm

Turn out the lights and go back to sleep
Wait 'til the water runs clear
Living through winter and apathy
Watch me as I disappear
Is it the way that you pictured it?
Is it enough that it's clean?
Already washing my hands of it
I would do anything to be seen

When the old thing dies
Carry the rest inside
All on fire
Watching you pull out the knife
