See What You Want Lyrics

Oh, what a mess

What a sticky situation we fell into

But oh, I must confess

I'm not off guard, but if you are, then I don't blame you

Who could have prepared for where we've landed?

I'm not sure I want to meet them

Now, we have to play with the cards that we've been handed

And you can bet I'm going to beat them

Tell me truthfully, when you woke up this morning

Where did you think that you'd go to sleep again?

Somewhere safe? Somewhere you know?

Surely not this madhouse

Together alone with unfamiliar friends

Won't somebody come save us?

I heard you cry to the cameras

But there's something that I think you missed my dear

You say we can't have been forgotten

That there must be someone watching

Why would someone watching want us out of here?

See what you want when you look at me

If you won't open your eyes, who cares what you see?

Honestly, I've better things to do

Than explain myself to you

You don't have all the information

So, yes, I understand your point of view

You're so comfortable claiming I'm on the wrong path

But I don't remember asking you

How can you be so calm?

You practically snap at me

While you're pointing your finger accusingly

Excuse me if the big picture has stayed in my sights

So if you don't mind, I'm trying to get out alive

Say what you like, I promise I'm not going to stop you

Think what you must, it's all on you

No one's coming to our rescue

Yes, I know this must distress you

But if we can't be our own saviours

We'll be damned

So get a grip on your composure

Things will be worse before they're over

Look a little deeper. Try to understand

See what you want when you look at me

If you won't open your eyes, who cares what you see?

Honestly, I've better things to do

Than explain myself to you

I've been screaming the truth, but you just won't see

'Cause I'm the only one here that you won't believe

And everything that I've done, well it's all for you

Though I've shouted and shouted, I can't get through

I'm begging you, use your brain for a moment

Try to figure it out on your own

I won't always be there when you call

They can lie all they like, but I won't concede

Cut me up with your knives. It's not like I'll bleed

I know you don't see the real shape of this battlefield

But my words are my weapons. In secret I'm your shield
