Have you seen me lately

I've been here patiently waiting

Watching all the videotapes

I'm happy to report I can finally think straight

I begin to mimic Blue Red and Green

I've been trying to remake those memories again

I need you to play your part

Right

But you're a no show on opening night

Have you seen me

I've been waiting

Have you seen me lately

I'm a bruised shade of blue from holding my breath

I lost sight of the surface as I waited in the water below the bridge

Have you seen me lately

I was brazen bulled and cooked crimson red

I'm slightly disfigured

But it's what's inside that counts they said

Where have you been my whole life

I thought I found a red bird

Now they're nowhere in sight

I told everyone I was flying towards the sun

I sold tickets to the show

Now I'm blind and alone

I've been waiting

Have you seen me lately

I was Green with envy in the secret garden

I'm buried below ground in a coffin of stone

And my oxygen intake is getting low

I'll draw the line once I've seen you've lied

All that I've ever wanted has been axed and denied

Have you ever caught a red bird

Have you ever plucked its feathers

Now that the weight is mine

It's about that time

Have you seen me

I hid in the oceans and all I could see was my own reflection waiting for me

Have you seen me

I slept through the fire and burned my tongue

My ashes were spread in the wrong spots

Have you seen me

Lately I've thrived face first in the dirt

When my heads in the clouds I only get hurt

Have you

I'll take those videotapes and use magnet to it to erase everything

No memories of how you used to treat me

A brand new slate for someone else to break

Have you ever caught a redbird midflight

I've been waiting my whole life

and it's about

it's about

(Have you seen me? I've been waiting)

it's about

It's about time I get what I've never wanted

But always getting what I think I deserve
