On the Outside 2.1 Lyrics

Still dark outside the window
f****** alarm clock, start the day in fear
Its not the fun or any sense of community
Theyre just trying to dull the pain
The scientists say that its a
Different animal altogether
And driven by forces deep
Within the chest that wont let it sleep and...

See the arm is sliced and
See the taken life and
See emaciation
Little scars are showing

On the outside

So now theyve grown up in these
Brilliantly beautiful sterile communities
Floating like the sleepers through the
Flowers and emptiness, the boring futility
So now theyre educated
12 years of chains and lost opportunities
What they have learned is how to
Jump when the bell rings and fear the breakdown

See the pain inflicted and
See the vein restricted and
See the pain inside
Caressed, unfolded, delivered

To the outside
Its known that nothing can be done
Theres just no room for the unconverted
Its known that anything is possible
But theres nothing worth doing here

See the forgotten sun and
See the forsaken ones and
See them driving cars
As big as they are, as fast as theyll go and
See the eyes turned in and
See cigarette-burnt skin and
See self-loathing love
a**umed, turned up, and used

On the outside
