The Outsider

(album: Shades Of Sorrow - 2023)

Wandering in a place that doesn't feel like home
Inner disconnection, carving my existence alone
A sickening society where my purpose won't belong
Fabricated ideals, crumbling in a spiral of doom

I am the outsider
I am the outsider
Being a bleeding heart in a numb world
Being a bare soul in an invulnerable crowd
Being a blaze in a soil grown cold
I am the outsider

Ego feeding from my uncertainties
Telling me tales of unlovability
Sharp sting of rejection cuts through my skin
Solitude hollering "unworthy, unworthy"

I am the outsider
I am the outsider
Like a bloom in a ground made of stone
Like an embrace in a deceitful world
Like deep waters in a shallow pond
I am the outsider

I face the demons you tame
I dance in the shadows you fear
I bathe in feelings you disguise
I am the imperfections you hide

I am the outsider
I am the outsider
I am the outsider
