The View From The Outside

[Verse 1]
I am an alien, trespassing my own turf
And when my nights grow long I'll overthink for what it's worth
Sometimes I like to hide, deep in the catacombs
Of my deep dark subconscious where I can be left alone

[Verse 2]
I walk up to the door I'm too afraid to go inside
I know they're watching me, they're peering with them judging eyes
I'll never be like them, but I never wanted to
When glory days become the past, the future will be haunting you

[Chorus]
Oh take me away, I can't stand it anymore
Running out of things to say and I can't stand it anymore
Maybe this world is an illusion or a metaphor
But then again it just feels all too real to me

[Verse 3]
Some light up to escape it and some burn out to get high
I stay clear of the trouble, music is my alliby
Maybe I'm too neurotic, maybe I'm too naïve
But I'll have the last laugh when I pull these tricks out of my sleeve

[Chorus x2]
Oh take me away, I can't stand it anymore
Running out of things to say and I can't stand it anymore
Maybe this world is an illusion or a metaphor
But then again it just feels all too real to me

Oh take me away, I can't stand it anymore
Running out of things to say and I can't stand it anymore
Maybe this world is an illusion or a metaphor
But then again it just feels all too real to me
