"I See You" lyrics

"I See You"

There is a girl
Up in her bed
Blade against her skin
I see you
Hoping the pain
Covers the dread
Keeps the secrets in
I see you

You think there's no one there
To hear your plea
But I can see

There is a girl
Over a cliff
Trying to break her fall
I see you
Hoping she'll find
One little if
Clinging to the wall
I see you

Whether it's black despair
Or just ennui
I can see

Wires get crossed
And tangled
People bruise, and they leave
But I see
And I believe

There is a girl
Out with the tide
Empty as the sky
I see you
Dead to the world
Frozen inside
Drier than an eye
I see you

You want to disappear
And just not be
But I can see

People get crushed
And broken
People lose and they grieve
But I see
And I believe
I see
And I believe
