WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME, WHAT CAN YOU SEE?



I am so safe here

Where nobody can see

My silence…

A doorway opened through

The night…a cruel fear,

My only and one delight…



When you look at me

What can you see?

This mad woman inside

Tears me apart, she is

My pain, she is my art.

She took away my heart…

She took away my heart…



I am so safe here

Where only you know…

The danger is buried so

Deep in my soul.

The scars follow me

Wherever I go…



When you look at me

What can you see?

The frightened little girl

Running through the night?

The woman trying to runaway

From the rain?

The mad woman and her pain?



I am so safe here

Where nobody can see

My tears, my bleeding wound,

My blind eyes…

When you look at me

What can you see?

Some flowers or ten thousand butterflies?

A seagull or just woman who dies

Every now and then

When her madness holds her hand

Again?



I am so safe here …is the dream over?

Who will protect me from my shadows?

Who will hold my hand when I breathe

Despair?

Who will be my air?

When you look at me just tell me

What can you see…

The woman that I was or the

Woman that I should be?
