She Foreknew

Gazing through dark windows of the mind
"Crazy", they say, "what she sees is not there"
But why would God play tricks on her mind?
Maybe what she sees is underneath everywhere
The Sadness Smile,
She smiles because she knew
The Sadness Smile,
She knew all the while
I know a girl,
Some people think she's strange
Diagnosed schizophrenic
White shirts found her deranged

Maybe what she sees is true
Reality in a different hue
I'd drown in rue if I had her view
Wouldn't you? If you knew
She foreknew
She foreknew

She tattooed shattered glass across her face
A web of secrets buried in her cavernous brain
And through the night, by spirits, she is chased
They latch upon her
Knowing she can feel their bane
The Sadness Smile,
She smiles because she knew
The Sadness Smile,
She knew all the while
She comes to me late at night,
Whispers in my cage
Tells me things, I feel a white light
Her words drenched in burning sage

Maybe what she sees is true
Reality in a different hue
I'd drown in rue if I had her view
Wouldn't you? If you knew she foreknew
She foreknew
She foreknew
She foreknew
She foreknew
