If I can convince you
To see through this cloud
That the cracks in the ground
Those scars flood and
Leak light below this darkening shroud
I can save you

 
If I can convince you
To turn this world you see in doubt
Upside-down
You’ll notice how those ‘diamond’ circlets
Are just daggered crowns
I can save you

If I can convince you
To see through those eyes 
You’ll see strings on arms
well-guarded and tied
Yet can be seem as
throwing waste into harm
I can save you

If I can convince you
To see through
What’s not so easily seen through
You’ll see deception misconstrued
And that help and guidance 
Is just selfish and defiant
I can save you
