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
