Tell Me What You See

She took my hand, and then she said to me
 "There are things underneath, that you have never seen"
 So I closed my eyes and we started to fly
 And everything froze when she stopped time
 And when the lights stopped shining I could see so clear
 It looked like forever, but it was oh so near
 And I saw through the lies that were stuck to time
 And for the first time, it all felt like mine
 "Look around, and tell me what you see
 Behind the halls of shining groceries"
 A man in a screen hooked up to his machine
 A world put to sleep in a sullen fantasy
 Bugs on the glass patient for the crack
 Lions waiting in the pavement for the sheep
 My clothes fell off and my hair blew free
 I felt just like a child, naked and carefree
 And we took my mask off finally
 So we could see the original face underneath
 This is home to me, this memory
 But when my heart stopped beating, I knew it was real
 After the blood stopped dripping and I let it in
 Could one life be over, and the next begin
 "Look around, and tell me what you see
 With the new eyes that I gave to thee"
 The great boat in the sky cracked on a frozen dream
 Bodies piled, disposed like batteries
 Come rats, scurrying, filling up the decks
 The dogs of doubt are breathing down their necks
 ♪
 "Look around, tell me who you see
 Up there where the blue lights never cease"
 A dull man staring into space
 Dollar signs burned onto his face
 Another man with a golden key
 To wake the man and then put him back to sleep
 "Look around, tell me what you see
 In boredom came such barbarity
 I saw things that I thought could never be
 Look around, tell me what you see"
