Never Had It

Flobots

I see you sit 
And swallow pain 
For all of those 
Who will not speak 
You raise your voice 
You fill the stage 
Your eyes are wide 
You know the weakness 
That you've felt 
Is not just yours 
So many more 
You're not alone 
The song you sing is not your own 
You fill the room with something real 
Youve never had it so you hesitate to try and find it 
You listen carefully for whispers of what lurks behind it 
You play the corners 
Never get too close to where it might be 
Waiting for you 
Never had it 
Keep on wanting something more 

Keep hiding the hope and than the pain is not yours 
No ones holding a rope gotta pull up on your own. 
All the songs have been sung 
And all the doors have be closed 
Keep on wanting more. 

I watch you wander through these halls 
You slouch you shrug you shrink away 
I call you stop you blink you pause 
You wander who 
You think the day 
Will never end 
But when it does 
You stay until the building's dark 
You're on the bus 
The doors are locked 
You looked inside 
But did not touch 

Youve never had it 
But you know how to provide it so you 
Stand up and call for it 
Nervous describing what you go through 
You dont wanna get caught up in all the 
Things they say to try to provoke you 
Dont need anyone to tell you 
Keep on wanting something more
