You said it all - when you called us into the blame
With every word - just a side note to what’s really on your face
Well the world must know – it’s not what you say, but what you show
Why don’t you know . . . why don’t you know, how don’t – you –know?
(and we were) Captured in a fit of disaster – what to say
(cause we were) Stolen – confused and frozen, with this blank embrace
(and we were) Captured – but what does it matter - anyway
(yes we were) Stolen - completely frozen - my knees locked in this A-frame
Wanted to hide, wanted to shed a lie – but you won’t get me to sing, not a single note
Feeling exposed, and oh so vulnerable - - - -
Captured by this grim design, holding over and under one piece at a time
Loosing composure, internal explosion – welling with feeling, how to be sober?!
Pushing out where conditions collide – must beware this air is primed
Holding long, too long, denied – only adds to the wreckage that’s left behind
And I won’t go – to the paths unknown
And I won’t leave – leave it up to suffering
And I won’t build – this cage of imagination
And I won’t kill - your joy to make room for mine
It’s not about you! It’s not about - all about you!
(x2)
Why don’t you know - why don’t you know;
Why don’t you know - how don’t you know?
It’s not about you! It’s not about - all about you!
