Array ( [sid] => 54114 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Never [time] => 2004-06-29 08:02:42 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I will paint on a smile and walk with the crowd
Dry the eyes all averted and never proud
A voice outside quiet but inside so loud
Never wanted to, but never been allowed

Never had to lead, never had to follow
Never been fulfilled, left me feeling hollow
Never had the pride you
wished me to swallow
Never had to give what you asked to borrow

Running from the truth, hiding behind the lies
Seeing only what you want
looking through shut eyes
Hurting those around
your gaze upon the prize
Unable to get free, cannot cut the ties

Never hurt so much and never felt such pain
Never buckled like this under so much strain
Never had to leave, never had to remain
Never had to call out, never had a name.

I will paint on a smile and walk with the crowd
Dry the eyes all averted and never proud

Never had the pride you

Never hurt so much and never felt such pain
Never buckled like this under so much strain
Never had to leave, never had to remain
Never had to call out, never had a name.
