You can listen if you want
Sit and listen, look away
Maybe you will hear me clearly
If you cannot see my face
And I’ll tell you not to worry
But I got dressed up today
(And I know you’ll worry anyway)
Separate the art from the artist,
Separate the woman from her words
Separate the method from the message,
Separate the seen and the heard
Celebrate the content of my character
And never let me speak
Honour me - posthumously -
Then say I’m finally free
Well, I am carved from earth and stone
And blood and water
And I am someone’s favourite person,
Someone’s daughter
And I know you’re just the cashier, someone’s kid
But I saw the way you looked at me, I did
And now it’s my superego against your id
Separate the art from the artist,
Separate the woman from her words
Separate the method from the message,
Separate the seen and the heard
Celebrate the content of my character
And never let me speak
Honour me - posthumously -
Then say I’m finally free
Like it was ever up to me
(It was never up to me) It was never up to me
(It was never up to me) It was never up to me
(It was never up to me) It was never up to me
Grant me now
The dignity I’ll get when I die
Grant me now
The dignity I’ll get when I die
See me now,
See me now,
See me now,
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now, (see me)
See me now,
See me now,
See me now,
See me now,
Oh, won’t you see me now?
