The Outcast

(Dedicated to the depressed, the broken, the outcasts) I’m so fed up with this It seems like I won’t be missed You’ve hoped I wouldn’t last I am the outcast Why won’t they see me Why am I so alone Who am I supposed to be Am I on my own Was I born to be put in the ground Is the world better When I’m not around Am I God’s one mistake Is salvation too late They say rules are made to be broken And I’ve got nothing to hope in Why won’t they see me Why am I so alone Who am I supposed to be Am I on my own It’s clear to me I’m the world’s disease As I drop to my knees It’s clear to me That’ll I’ll never be What they want to see Why won’t they see me Why am I so alone Who am I supposed to be Am I on my own The laughs and the stares Kills me beyond repair The sticks and the stones Go beyond my bones It’s so hard to be myself They’ll never see the pain I’ve felt I carry these scars With love so far So far away Why won’t they see me Why am I so alone Who am I supposed to be Am I on my own If there is a God out there Please tell me where I can’t live this life alone I’m done being on my own I can’t take one more night of this Death has such a tempting kiss Please God Save me Save me from this hell I’ve seen how far I’ve fell I need you now Why won’t they see me Why am I so alone Who am I supposed to be Am I on my own
