A Need To Care lyrics

The world is locked outside my head
And I refuse to let it in
I don`t find peace in the things I`ve done
Or the places that I`ve been
I feel the sides of a velvet trap
That holds me tight at bay
I want to sail and think blue sky
But my life has blocked the way
I wanted so to do great things
To leave them all in awe
But instead I blundered into things
That I never even saw
Now every man has got his cross
Yes, the one that he must bear
And no life, I know, can be complete
Without the need to care
A need to care
But a coldness falls around my soul
Like a curtain on a stage
And thoughts that should be gentle ones
Come on like burning rage
In a crowded room I`m all alone
I don`t care what`s being said
In spite of all that`s going on
Creative thought is dead
If all I hate is removed today
What I want is not what`s left
Because the dragons aren`t really real, you know
They`re all within your self
Now every man has got his cross
Yes, the one that he must bear
And no life I know can be complete
Without the need to care
A need to care
