Go Outside

(album: Crying In The Pit - 2021)

Talk funny, play safe
Wear something that'll make you look sane
You sound smart when you talk about art
But you're better off toning it down to half way
Your mama, she's to blame
Made you believe you had a beautiful brain
That might die every time you get high
A little tonight to keep me out of my way

'Cause they're all gonna say
Heard your new song, it was okay
Showed it to my mom, she thought it was great
She said to get a pic, just in case you get fame
"Your Dad just died, are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, it's all good"
Fuck else I'm gonna say
To a guy I haven't seen since eighth grade?
I'm gonna say

Why am I on the outside?
Why am I on the outside?
I on the outside?
I on the outside?

Be cool, that's a joke
Bite your nails then cave for a smoke
You drag it out even though we know
You say you quit so long ago
Your streak, down the hole
Whatever it takes to get me outta this hole
You might die every time you get high
But that's alright, go ahead, let go

'Cause they're all gonna say
Okay rockstar, that's so cliché
I wish it was true, that would be great
Smoke and do drugs, that's all that it takes
Forget the nights that you spent halfway
Dead in a chair, while you start to pray
For something to change
So I never say

Why am I on the outside?
Why am I on the outside?
I on the outside?
I on the outside?

I'll see you in a lifetime
It's just the time of life
To watch you from the outside
And say I'm on your side

Why am I on the outside?
Why am I on the outside?
I on the outside?
I on the outside?
