The Outside

You were dressed in white as I hid inside my gates
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
As I plan my great escape
Now I see, now I see, now I see

I watched us grow, I watched us reap
I watched us on our knees and starting to breathe
I watched you glow, I watched you bleed
I watched you wanting me and wanting to leave

You have stars in your eyes, I have clouds in my mind
And they keep me from seeing what I should be seeing but
As you're holding on tight, I am under disguise
All these lights, they have faded out
Just as I had waited outside
I'm on the outside
I swear that I tried
I'm on the outside

I bent backwards trying to make myself fit in
I believed, I believed, I believed, I believed I
Could slip right out of my skin
Now I see, now I see, now I see

I nearly died, I tried to run
I tried to make believe it had to be done
But I realized I'm like the sun,
I burn too bright to never blind anyone

You have stars in your eyes, I have clouds in my mind
And they keep me from seeing what I should be seeing but
As you're holding on tight, I am under disguise
All these lights, they have faded out
Just as I had waited outside
I'm on the outside
I swear that I tried
I'm on the outside

I'll rip out my shattered heart
Replacing it with modern art
'til theres nothing left to do
I'll sneak through the cracks again
Make sure to never go back in
'cause there's nothing left to prove
I'm lost with you

You have stars in your eyes, I have clouds in my mind
And they keep me from seeing what I should be seeing but
As you're holding on tight, I am under disguise
All these lights, they have faded out
Just as I had waited outside
I'm on the outside
I swear that I tried
I'm on the outside
