| All I Know |
| I do not hear the joy you hear I do not feel the success you feel I do not know the facts you know Because I'm numb and cold with fear I do not love the way you love I do not touch that magic touch I do not care the way you care Because I'm ignored far too much I do not wear the face you wear I do not see the things you see I do not belong where you belong Because I'm scarred deep inside of me I do not deserve what you deserve I do not act the way you act I do not need you to know I need Because I'm lost in life that lacks I do not have the life you have I do not live the way you live I do not own the things you own Because I'm poor, nothing to give I do not wish the wishes you wish I do not dream the dreams you dream I do not cry the cries you cry Because I'm not the man I seem I do not stand like other men stand I do not fight like real men fight I do not believe like those men believe Because I'm not brave; I have no might I will not follow the paths you follow I will not find the truths you find I will not learn the facts you learn Because I'm not like all man kind I cannot face the battles you face I cannot keep the morals you keep I cannot run after things that run Because I'm not wrong, humanity makes me weep I am the man from deep inside I am your hidden fear I am the one you dread to be Because you know you see me when you look inside that mirror. |
