Lyrics
Can You See Me
Megan Van Alstine (Vocals), Words & Music by Frank Pietrantoni
Your eyes see laughter. Inside I fight back tears.
I hide behind smiles that lack substance but impress you all the while.
I exist and resist, just exist and persist to adhere to all my essence in spite of your presence and your views; so confused on what you see.
Can you see me now
Can you see me
Can you see me now
Your thoughts are troubled with pride; fearing humiliation.
So hide me in/behind a mask or a skirt that draws attention from the truth.
But I exist and resist and persist to adhere to all my visions; despite your inhibitions and your views; so confused on what you see.
Can you see me now
Can you see me
Can you see me now
Your eyes just judge the one side they see.
And you miss all the elements that make me do the things I do and say the things I say and exist or resist.
And I persist to be true to my own soul.
In my heart I'll always know what you view; so confused on what you see.
Your view; so confused on what you see.
