Outside Looking Elsewhere

Outside Looking Elsewhere
If I try to take a step inside
All confidence just repairs
Too many turned down invitations
Not enough strength to project
Married to my imagination
Always lost outside it
Unnerved by crowds and occasions
I do my best to hide it
I have to try so hard to keep from running
I’m the only one who hears the screaming

A life of dreams
A life of fiction
Almost a ghost
I’ll always travel in the other direction
I’m good at being alone
Everything’s always seemed
More than a little apart from me
You could say I’m barely there
Outside looking elsewhere
Feeling like none of this
Is remotely real
Feeling like I could turn
And walk right out of this world
And walk right out of this world
And walk right out of this world
I have to try so hard to keep from running
I’m the only one who hears the screaming
