Hello
It’s me hanging on the edge again
You know I’m not one to pretend
That there’s a ground below
There’s no reason to show
My face around my enemies
I’ve become my own disease
Live just to wither away
So take your shots at me
So take your shots for free
And dream big baby
I’m on the outside now
The outside looking in
You want a piece of the good life baby
I could be your sin
Swallow your pride and watch the time go by
We all become what we despise
A gutless soul with no spine
So reckless and out of time
The leash runs shorter every day it seems
Smash my pride to smithereens
Ignite the gasoline
So take your shots at me
So take your shots for free
And dream big baby
I’m on the outside now
The outside looking in
You want a piece of the good life baby
I could be your sin
I’m on the outside now (And if you’re scared, put some money on it)
The outside looking in (Fold it up origami)
We’re all expendable people baby (And if you swing, I’ll put some mustard on it)
Caught in the whirlwind (I’m gonna bet you a lottery)
All my days roll into one
And I haven’t felt more alive
