Tell Me What You See
DC Prox

You need me once again
You act like you’re my friend
Of course, no remorse
So please don’t pretend

I never wanted this
But I could not dismiss
The words I heard
When you were desperate

Tell me what you see
When you rest your head at night.
Do you still dream of me?
Did you ever find your light?

But this is not a dream,
And I don’t have a scheme
You know how it goes
When you run out of steam.

So we will see this through
And I will stand with you.
We’ll shine one last time
Just like we used to.

Now tell me what you see
When you look down the road.
Is it our victory?
How does the path unfold?

No, this was not a dream.
But, it’s still not real, it seems
I know how it goes
It’s all routine.

All this pain and misery
Standing proud in front of me
Lit up like a Christmas tree;
Bias blindness? It can't be.

Tell me what you see,
When you look at me.

Is there something wrong with me,
Seeing things that you can't see?
If I'm not then it must be
The world's problem; stand with me.

Tell me what you see
When you look at me

(Tell me what you see) - a bleak reality
(Tell me what you see) Or my lunacy,
(Tell me what you see) horrors in front of me
(Tell me what you see) Are real and not just me?

(Tell me what you see) I can't hear you speaking sweetheart -
(When you look at me) Have you got no words for me?
(Tell me what you see)I don't want to be a lonely
(when you look at me) come on baby, stand with me

Verse One
Every other thing you wanted
Was at odds with being odd
Even when it was absconded
I chewed on it ‘til it was gnawed
You keep me guessing more than
You’re impressing me

Pre-Chorus
Hold your tiny secrets
Sheltered from the wind
Control your urge to let go
Until I say begin

Chorus
When you’re down and out and dreaming
Tell me what you see
When there’s truly no restrictions
Tell me what may be

Verse Two
All my rage has left me blinded
Every curtain has been drawn
Take a tour when left unguided
A blank canvas to paint upon
You keep me guessing more than
You’re depressing me


Pre-Chorus
Hold your tiny secrets
Sheltered from the wind
Control your urge to let go
Until I say begin

Chorus
When you’re down and out and dreaming
Tell me what you see
When there’s truly no restrictions
Tell me what may be

Bridge
There’s hardly any evidence
We’re always so unsure
Dodging all malevolence
To find something that’s pure
Is there any cure?

Verse Three
When the world is filled with venom
We’re still free to take a dream
At a loss to gain momentum
For a cause that’s losing steam
You keep undressing all my
Ornamental schemes

You keep on confessing all the
Horrors that you’ve seen

Tell Me What You See - by The Reverend
(Lowden, Reverend & Steinberger guitars)

I see there's something missing here
I see it's been this way for years
I see you don't know what to do
Tell me what you see

I see and I don't mean just me
We see we share what's in between
We see it's going down the tubes
Tell me what you see

Refrain:
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see
but what you see wont matter, if you never look, you can not see

if you want the rainbow, gotta put up with the rain (Dolly)
Who asked for rosebud, was it us or only Kane?

there are 2 ways, goin' slow or livin' fast!
The shades of our democracy, are they fading, will they last?
The pews of our congress, filled with loyal clergymen
The shades of our people, whitewashed or imprisoned
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see

(Refrain)
