5.Outsider
I'm silent in the rolling wake
Of lucky and adored
Ugly, a blur on the side
So easily ignored
Speechless in my screaming way
They all laugh and smile
Spotlights give the loved a stage
But only burn the shy
I will always be the outsider
Will I always walk the road alone?
Disguised, so the crowd can't see
My strategies and plans
The last of the shopworn secrets
No one understands
I will always be the outsider
Will I always walk the road alone?
Will I always find it hard to
Make this world of lies my own?
I'd give it all
All to find my way inside you
I can't fake myself 'round
To fit the hole that hides in you
Looking at me, I know
Just what you'd say if you cared
I will always be the outsider
Will I always walk the road alone?
Will I always find it hard to
So hard to make this world of lies my own?
