Never Given the Time Lyrics

I was never invited

I was never given the time

I never got a chance to speak my mind

I was damned by my own appearance

Sold out by a thread in my genes

Twisted by a wrinkle in time if you know what I mean

Hey now

I'm starting to see

Through a veil of artistry

To inner lives that sigh beneath

To be themselves and

Not to be

Some pretend to have the answer

Making like they have a key

But liquor of the fool never looked good on me

So, lover, don't buy what they're selling

If it smells too good to be true

Listen to the voice whisper inside of you

(Filling up the void, making all things new)

Hey now

I'm starting to see

Through a veil of artistry

To inner lives that sigh beneath

To be themselves and

Not to be

La la la la la la la la la

But how could they ever blame me

For wanting such a basic thing?

Like, birds of a feather taking me under a wing

So, I wait until they are silent

Till words don't mask what they say

And solitude unveils everything they held at bay

(Ringing like a bell, clear as day)

Hey now

I'm starting to see

Through a veil of artistry

To inner lives that sigh beneath

To be themselves and

Not to be

La la la la la la la la la
