SEE ME NOW [Intro — close voice; answers drift across the stereo field] Twisting through the atmosphere… (What do you hear?) Who knew I could just disappear? (You’re already here…) [Verse 1 — a pulse emerges] A shadow in the dark… (The forsaken heart.) A spark inside the light… (God… in plain sight.) Just another day, Another endless night… (Patiently waiting To be beyond the fight.) [Verse 2 — measured, increasingly percussive] We all know what’s repeatedly told… (History repeating in the stories we hold.) Chasing the things we already know… (Glory. Fortune. As if we won’t grow old.) Lost in the snow, Cold with nowhere to go… (Blind. Arrogant. Prideful. Still growing old.) Asking ourselves what it means to be known… (Trying to be someone we don’t even know.) [Chorus — wide, unresolved] Looking for home… (Was it here all along?) Lost in the snow… (What I thought I knew won’t keep me warm.) Nowhere to go… (My choices left tracks on the road that I chose.) Just another storm… (Remember—you know what it is to be warm.) [Break — everything falls away] See me now. [Verse 3 — warmth enters; the groove keeps its weight] Still happy and warm… (Holding joy. Holding love. No need for more.) Beyond the cold night, Beyond the endless fights— There are things I choose to set aside… (I don’t have to answer every thought tonight.) A simple life… (Some quiet inside my own mind.) A little room to laugh again… (Without a reason. Without pretending.) [Refrain — fragile, almost unaccompanied] I’m still alive… (Back from the dead.) I’m still alive… (With a life I haven’t lived yet.) [Bridge — rhythm fractures; the voice stays steady] I know how to endure the cold… (To be at peace… And dance with the dead.) And what it takes to hear the stone… (Let the silence finish what it said.) Beyond just being, once again thrown… (Be a creator of the unknown.) Believed to be out of sight… (Still breathing on the other side.) You couldn’t see me through the storm… (That doesn’t mean that I was gone.) [Final chorus — voices draw together] Looking for home… (There’s room for a life I haven’t yet known.) Lost in the snow… (But I haven’t forgotten what it is to be warm.) Nowhere to go… (One step is a choice I can still call my own.) Just another storm… (Remember… remember…) See me now. Still happy and warm… (Holding joy. Holding love. No need for more.) The night goes on… I’m still alive. [Breakdown — laughter catches in the rhythm] Ha… ha… ha… (Ahahaha…) A laugh breaks loose— Half joy, half bruise. (Mehehehahahaugh…) [Sudden silence] No one believed… [Whisper] I… [Low harmony] Would… [One clear voice] Arrive.
