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? 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 Turn off 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
