Lyrics
From Outside In
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What's left of the world you brought and sold
Keep your face and remember all the lies you were told
Replaced all the clocks that found you
Running late
Leave a note if you're falling way behind
Leave us something we all can understand
For the short attention spans
Who only wanted the world
And all that binds you here
Don't be a slave to what always eludes you
Shining the cage to forget
All about the life
You've gotta save it
What about the inside
You can never rely on all that you can see
Out of touch with what you can feel
Only half of what you believe is real
Time to heal, to heal, to heal
So you're laughing in the dark again
Looking from the outside in
For all the want of the world
And all its pleasure escapes
You got them
Oh and lose them
Shining the cage to forget
All about the life
You've gotta save it
What about the inside
Sometimes I feel I'm holding only by a thread
Just about to break
But keep on moving
Passed the overload
Heading down that old bad road
Making old mistakes
The whee ls are burning
Ooh, to find the lead
To find the place, place
Place on wheels
To be found the place
To be found the place on the wheels
I only want the world
The world
Eluded me
I got burning of
That eluded me
Shining the cage
Forget all about your life
You've gotta save it
What about the inside
