What You Saw

What You Saw

He found his inspiration on the screen, in the daily I found mine.
Came to that fork in the famous road, and oh it looked benign.  
Heard the stuff you always hear, that God Damned tired retread line!
Talk, talk, talk, talk and yet some more, help, heal, hide, opine?

Come on down and look for me, but what you saw isn't what you see
Come on down and look for me so sad and drowned in anxiety
Come on down and look for me, What will we tell society?
Come on down and look for me, but what you saw isn't what you see

That life is gone for good, there ain't no recreating.
You left, you left, you left! and now it's me left waiting.
The life, the girl, her heart, her soul, No! Not coming back.
You took my always. Then and now, and all I see is lack.

Come on down and look for me, but what you saw isn't what you see
Come on down and look for me so sad and drowned in anxiety
Come on down and look for me,  What will we tell society?
Come on down and look for me, but what you saw isn't what you see

The ghost steps out from the corporeal
You see its glow unreal?
I bet you know how its story ends
Share with me please if it transcends?

Come on down and look for me, but what you saw isn't what you see
Come on down and look for me so sad and drowned in anxiety
Come on down and look for me, What will we tell society?
Come on down and look for me, but what you saw isn't what you see
