Lyrics

The Outsider

[Verse 1] I got something on my ego The plastic surgery will melt Its like getting kinda me so It comes over when you come [Verse 2] I need to call it out my system I find the good and kick it out When the wind blows the stars don't shine I find the good and kick it out [Chorus] I got day day day day day day day today The error takes some parts so stay away I find myself alone Just staring down the phone I got day day day day day day day today [Verse 3] I see shadows in the night grow I see dancing disease I don't fear very easily I gotta get some light relief [Chorus] I got day day day day day day day today The error takes some parts so stay away I find myself alone Just staring down the phone I got day day day day day day day today [Bridge] Alone, alone, alone, alone... [Chorus] I got day day day day day day day today The error takes some parts so stay away I find myself alone Just staring down the phone I got day day day day day day day today
