Outside Looking In

Verse 1
The room smells like yesterday
Neon shadows crawl the wall
Hands shaking like a bad decision
I swore I’d never call
Every mirror tells a story
I don’t recognize my skin
There’s a life still moving somewhere
And I’m outside looking in

Pre-Chorus
Time don’t tick, it drips real slow
Every promise I let go
Heaven’s quiet, hell’s within
I’m outside looking in

Chorus
Outside looking in through a dirty window pane
Watching who I was drown out in the rain
I hear their laughter, I feel their skin
But I’m outside… looking in
It whispers, “Just one more try”
Borrowed peace, stolen time
I’m breathing, but I’m not living
I’m outside looking in

Verse 2
There’s a photograph of better days
Tucked inside a folded lie
Fathers voice in my memory
Still asking me why
I don’t chase the high no more
I chase the quiet in my head
But the silence costs me everything
Till I feel half-dead

Pre-Chorus
Every line I cross again
Draws a deeper line in me
I know the door, I know the sin
Still outside looking in

Chorus
Outside looking in through a dirty window pane
Watching who I was drown out in the rain
I hear their laughter, I feel their skin
But I’m outside… looking in
It whispers, “Just one more try”
Borrowed peace, stolen time
I’m breathing, but I’m not living
I’m outside looking in

Break
I see the door
I feel the knock
I’m scared of hope
I’m scared to stop

Final Chorus
Outside looking in, screaming through the glass
Watching my future fade into the past
I want back in, but I don’t know when
I’ve been outside… looking in
If there’s a light beyond this skin
Let it find me where I’ve been
I’m still here, I’m still trying
From the outside… looking in

Outro
Still breathing…
Still fighting…
Outside looking in
