I See You

I See You

In the wind, this shady smell,

Watched you broadcast your dividends,

Making plans you wouldn’t tell,

Misstating how you were just friends.

My suspicions you try to quell,

Results that you did not intend,

Took too many trips to the well,

Now you try to make amends.

And I see you.

I see the mirages that you sell.

I see you.

I see you very well.

I saw you breathing in the poisons,

You never took time to exhale.

Took a ride on the crazy train,

Before you went way off the rails.

You let yourself be led astray -

You took a room inside the jails.

You had been seduced by

The sausage grinder’s tales.

And I see you.

Playing that game with the shell,

I see you.

I see you very well.

You cannot shade your history,

The convoluted tales you tell.

You have lost your mystery,

All that’s left is farewell.

And I see you.

The truth you cannot dispel.

I see you.

I see you very well.
