Not What You See

No life so short it can't turn around

You can't spend your life living underground

Far from above you don't hear a sound



And I'm out here, waiting

I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating

It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see



No life so short that it never learns

No flame so small that it never burns

No page so sure that it never turns



And I'm out here, waiting

I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating

It's not who I am, but I know that it's all that you see



Can you live your life in a day?

Putting every moment in play?

Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around

Tell me if you win would it show?

In a thousand years who would know?

As a million lives come and go on the same piece of ground



I've been waiting

I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating

It's not who I am, but it is what you see



Tell me would you really want to

See me leave this night without you

Don't you ever look about you?

Wandering where we might be

New York is so far away now

Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow

Only dreams from here, but somehow

One day that world we will see



I've been waiting

I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating

It's not who I am, but it is what you see, what I see



(I don't understand...)



I swear on tomorrow if you take this chance

Our lives are this moment, the music, the dance

And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries

I close my eyes on this night

And you're all that I see

You're all that I see
