The Otherside

I've spent my life close to the ground
So I can never see around
These walls with no beginning
And no end
So when I dream I turn into a bird
So I can fly just high enough
To understand what makes me feel
I'm stuck inside this city

Streets filled with light and tall glass towers
Fancy cars drive by for hours
Picking up and dropping off
The suits who built this city
Educated minds who cheat to win
And pass their jobs to next of kin
Who sit inside their echo chambers
Thinkin' they're so witty

For years and years now
I've been stuck
From thinkin' I'm not good enough
But now I understand that I've been livin' on

The otherside, no one to turn to
You never feel the wind behind you
Like a ship without a sail
Out on the ocean
The otherside, I've always wondered
Why I was born with all this hunger
And an appetite to see beyond
These walls where I've been livin'

I found a way out, took me years
And most of my blood, sweat and tears
Anyone who hurt me
I've forgiven
So save your breath
Don't waste your pity
When I come back I'll own this city
And I'll make sure I won't forget the otherside

For years and years now
I've been stuck
From thinkin' I'm not good enough
But now I understand that I've been livin' on

The otherside, no one to turn to
You never feel the wind behind you
Like a ship without a sail
Out on the ocean
The otherside, I've always wondered
Why I was born with all this hunger
And an appetite to see beyond
These walls where I've been livin'

For years and years now
I've been stuck
From thinkin' I'm not good enough
But now I understand that I've been livin' on

The otherside, no one to turn to
You never feel the wind behind you
Like a ship without a sail
Out on the ocean
The otherside, I've always wondered
Why I was born with all this hunger
And an appetite to see beyond
These walls where I've been livin'
