World's Outsider

There's a gaping hole inside
One that I've been tryin' to hide
Why can't you sense it
Can't you see it

I keep runnin' from my fears
Holding back the many tears
Felt so empty
Over the centuries

Just like oil is to water
Or like north is to the south
I'm world's outsider
Just don't belong in this world

The days are full of sighs
I pass by unrecognized
Nobody knows
It's how it goes

Drowning in this well unending
Acceptance still be pending
What to do now
I don't know how


Just like oil is to water
Or like north is to the south

I'm world's outsider
Just don't belong in this world

Something tells me someone's out there who can come and save me
Bring me back to this world
My story unfurled
Something in me wants to open then to break free
And help release me
From this prison. . .
