• I feel like there's something I can't see
    But what could that something be?
    Are there others just like me?
    Those who are confused and blind
    Those who need a broader mind
    I feel I'm blocking something out
    And no one cares, but I still shout,
    "Stop protecting me!
    I need to see!"
    I don't care much for safety
    So let me see your dangerous side
    I don't want to abide by the rules
    I need to see this hidden evil
    I need to see reality
    I know this 'safe' world just can't be
    I need to see those other facets
    'Cuz people aren't one dimensional
    I'm not so delusional
    That I can't think for myself
    And people cover up the voids
    That let their bad side show
    I really don't know
    If I know what I'm talking about
    But I say what I think and this
    This is going through my head now
    Maybe I should go to bed now
    'Cuz it's getting late
    But what I really hate
    Is when someone stops me
    From plodding through life
    It might be for a reason
    But I'm not doing treason
    I feel that I'm being sheltered
    From what is really me
    This isn't how I want it to be
    I need to see all I can see
    I need to be all I can be
    I want to see the world
    The ups and downs, the pros and cons
    No one is all evil, but no one is all good
    I need to see both sides
    You should
    Give me a chance to get where I'm going
    Give me a chance to see what's not showing
    Give me a chance to know what you're knowing
    I need to see your bad side, too
    Or even the side that's cold and blue
    I need to see it all this time
    I need to see the print that's fine
    Let your whole self show
    You don't have to go
    Through all this trouble for an illusion
    I'm not liking all this confusion
    Let me see
    It won't kill me
    Of that, I'm sure
    Just becasue you don't get her
    Doesn't mean you should fear
    Just because she's not all here
    Doesn't mean you can't speak
    She might be meek
    But she's just trying to see you for you
    Maybe you should let her
    I want to see, too
    You're covering up what you don't want to show
    You're covering up what we shouldn't know
    But to be in a place that doesn't exist
    I feel there is something we all have missed
    Something that's terrible
    Something that's bad
    But we still need to know
    Or we will go mad
    So tell us, go on
    We aren't afraid
    So tell us, go on
    How this 'safe' world was made
    Tell us of cannibals
    And man-eating animals
    tell us of crimes
    Of widowed housewives
    Of World War 2
    And of Martin Luther King
    Go on, you can bring
    Yourself to answer our innocent questions
    We have no idea where we've been
    And we need to know
    The things that don't show
    Bombs in Japan
    The killing of a man
    The World Trade Center, how did it fall?
    Or was it even here at all?
    Controversy
    What is that, Miss?
    Can you tell us or do we have to guess?
    Will anyone tell me what I need to know?
    Will anyone reveal a secret for me?
    Will anyone tell me something that didn't happen to me?
    Does anyone tell the truth anymore?
    Does truth even matter?
    Some don't believe it
    Myths, stories that explain what we don't know
    Lies, goodbyes to truth
    Blind, what we will be if they don't let us see
