When you look at the worldWhat is it that you see?People find all kinds of thingsThat bring them to their kneesI see an expressionSo clear and so trueThat it changes the atmosphereWhen you walk into the room So I try to be like youTry to feel it like you doBut without you it's no useI can't see what you seeWhen I look at the world When the night is someone elsesAnd you're trying to get some sleepWhen your thoughts are too expensiveTo ever want to keepWhen there's all kinds of chaosAnd everyone is walking lameYou don't even blink now, do youOr even look away So I try to be like youTry to feel it like you doBut without you it's no useI can't see what you seeWhen I look at the world I can't wait any longerI can't wait till I'm strongerCan't wait any longerTo see what you seeWhen I look at the world I'm in the waiting roomCan't see for the smokeI think of you and your holy bookWhile the rest of us choke Tell me, tell me, what do you see?Tell me, tell me, what's wrong with me
