Emergency & I.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE CORAGE I KNOW
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
I'll never glow - the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you

You'll say you understand, BUT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie..

You'll never touch - these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you

You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd NEVER LET ME FALL FROM HOPES SO HIGH
BUT NEVER IS A PROMISE and you can't afford to LIE.

You'll never LIVE THE LIFE THAT I LIVE
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
YOU'LL NEVER HEAR THE MESSAGE I GIVE
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
MY FEELINGS SWELL AND STRETCH, I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you

You'll say you understand, YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing HOW OR WHY
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE IN, YOU DONT KNOW WHO I AM..
You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
BUT NEVER IS A PROMISE AND I'LL NEVER NEED A LIE.
