Contrasts

Envious glances at the everyday life of careless individuals Breathing the scent of happiness with a jealous thought inside An aching emptiness fills the holes that you're left with Thoughts become dark and dampened Drown in the misty air of night Who you are will never leave you However hard you try Provoke your own emotions to extract a reaction Suffer physically to grieve the soul The Flame does not burn, but it's lacking consumes me Never extinguished, never burning bright enough So how does it taste when all this is inside you How can you love when your sense's so numb Too sensitive to feel the brightness about Digging too deep to find what you seek It's in the sky and in your eyes It's in your tears and in your fears The strings touched, but never tuned The melody written but never played In black and white the contrasts are clearer When subtleties fade there's just one thing to say The shortest way home won't bring you any nearer Until it's time for you to bloom... Provoke your own emotions to extract a reaction Suffer physically to grieve the soul The Flame does not burn, but it's lacking consumes me Never extinguished, never burning bright enough
