(Verse 1)
Walking through the shadows in a crowded, noisy room,
Feels like everybody's talking, but it's just a lonely tomb.
I don't really fit the puzzle, I'm the missing, broken piece,
Searching for a little quiet, always searching for some peace.
They tell me I should smile more, they tell me to pretend,
But I'm just trying to survive and make it to the bitter end.
Got these heavy thoughts inside my head that I can never erase,
Living in a different world, I'm just existing out of space.
Running fast but going nowhere, chasing after hollow dreams,
Nothing ever is exactly, truly how it ever seems.
I got money in my pocket, but my heart is feeling broke,
Every time I try to breathe, it feels like I'm about to choke.
Lost inside the maze, and all the walls are closing in,
Fighting battles in my mind that I don't know if I can win.
Yeah, they look at me like I'm the one who's out of line,
But they don't know the pain I hide, they think I'm doing fine.
(Chorus)
Cause I'm standing on the outside, looking at the stars,
Counting all my blessings, while I'm counting all my scars.
I don't really fit in here, I guess I never really will,
Climbing up this mountain, but it's just a lonely hill.
Yeah, I'm an outcast, a rebel with a heavy, breaking heart,
Torn into a million pieces, falling completely apart.
But I'm gonna keep on walking, even when the road is dark,
Leaving my own footprint, trying hard to leave a mark.
I don't need your validation, I don't need your empty lies,
I can see the hidden truth behind your masquerading eyes.
Just a soul without a home, drifting through the endless night,
Searching for a little spark to finally ignite the light.
(Verse 2)
Late night drives alone, with the volume turned up high,
Watching all the city lights reflect across the midnight sky.
Thinking 'bout the past and all the things I couldn't change,
Everything is different now, it's feeling so incredibly strange.
Got some friends who switched up, got some love that turned to hate,
Guess it's just the price you pay when you are trying to be great.
I'm just pouring out my soul into these melodies and rhymes,
Trying to find some meaning in these dark and confusing times.
Sometimes I just want to run away and leave it all behind,
Find a place where I can finally find some peace of mind.
But the shadows always follow, yeah they trace my every step,
Reminding me of all the heavy secrets that I've safely kept.
I'm a puzzle with a thousand pieces scattered on the floor,
Every day I'm waking up, I'm fighting an invisible war.
They see the flashing lights, they see the diamonds and the gold,
But they don't know the freezing temperatures, they don't know the cold.
(Chorus)
Cause I'm standing on the outside, looking at the stars,
Counting all my blessings, while I'm counting all my scars.
I don't really fit in here, I guess I never really will,
Climbing up this mountain, but it's just a lonely hill.
Yeah, I'm an outcast, a rebel with a heavy, breaking heart,
Torn into a million pieces, falling completely apart.
But I'm gonna keep on walking, even when the road is dark,
Leaving my own footprint, trying hard to leave a mark.
I don't need your validation, I don't need your empty lies,
I can see the hidden truth behind your masquerading eyes.
Just a soul without a home, drifting through the endless night,
Searching for a little spark to finally ignite the light.
(Bridge)
And the rain keeps falling down, washing all the tears away,
Hoping that tomorrow brings a brighter, better sunny day.
I'm not perfect, I'm just human, making my own mistakes,
Learning how to navigate the waves and all the painful breaks.
Everybody's got a story, everybody's got a past,
Nothing in this crazy, spinning world is ever built to last.
So I'm holding onto every second, living for the now,
Trying to make it through the storm, I'm gonna make it through somehow.
I don't care about the rumors, I don't care about the fame,
I'm just trying to be myself, I'm not playing their little game.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
[Atmospheric synths swell, heavy 808s vibrate the floor, and a melancholic electric guitar wails a sorrowful melody, echoing the feeling of isolation and raw emotion.]
(Chorus)
Cause I'm standing on the outside, looking at the stars,
Counting all my blessings, while I'm counting all my scars.
I don't really fit in here, I guess I never really will,
Climbing up this mountain, but it's just a lonely hill.
Yeah, I'm an outcast, a rebel with a heavy, breaking heart,
Torn into a million pieces, falling completely apart.
But I'm gonna keep on walking, even when the road is dark,
Leaving my own footprint, trying hard to leave a mark.
I don't need your validation, I don't need your empty lies,
I can see the hidden truth behind your masquerading eyes.
Just a soul without a home, drifting through the endless night,
Searching for a little spark to finally ignite the light.
(Outro)
Yeah, just a soul without a home.
Wandering through the dark alone.
I don't fit in, and that's okay.
I'll keep walking my own way.
Outcast. Rebel. Drifting far.
Look up and see the falling star.
