outSIDE loookin’ in

Who am I in the Outside???

I don’t mind your hurt
Yet, you need my comfort
You need some healing from distress
The light is revealing the darkness

Who am I in the outside?
You are dangerous and precarious 
Abide by my side, then subside
Like a tide of precious graciousness
Keep it a secret 
I screwed up badly…
I’m so full of regret,
Yet I’m not sorryyYyy!

Who am I
Who am I
Who am I deep down and oh
On the outside — I glow and grow 
So true
I miss you… 

Roll the dice, cat caught mouse
I’m your living sacrifice tonight
Pay the price — I did my vows
And I broke them all with my might

Who am I in the outside?
You are dangerous and precarious 
Abide by my side, then subside
Like a tide of precious graciousness
Keep it a secret 
I screwed up badly…
I’m so full of regret,
Yet I’m not sorryyYyy!

Who am I
Who am I
Who am I deep down and oh
On the outside — I glow and grow 
So true
I miss you… 

Transform me into cheerful hopefulness and mere happiness 
Goodbye to your hellos…going through highs and lows
You made my storm into a rainbow in the cloudy skies of faithfulness
Your angelic touch inside and my outside devil halos…

Who am I in the outside?
You are dangerous and precarious 
Abide by my side, then subside
Like a tide of precious graciousness
Keep it a secret 
I screwed up badly…
I’m so full of regret,
Yet I’m slaying it & swagging it toniiight!

Who am I
Who am I
Who am I deep down and oh
On the outside — I glow and grow 
So true
I miss you… 

Who am I deep down and oh
On the outside — I glow and grow 
So true
I made love to you… 

Who am I deep down and oh
On the outside — I glow and grow 
So true
I abyss you — what’s new… 
Sick with dem luv fluUuuU

After you heartlessly torn me all apart
Until you ripped and shredded me with remorse on repeat, on repeat
After you truly forlorn in heart, take heart!
Until you tripped and fell into your own black hole with your two feet…

Collected bruises
I miss you… 
No, wait, I lied a lil accidentally
I do not miss you anymore — exactly…
…
Speechless and sad honestly  
I kiss you…
Bye, hopelessness

Who am I to know and keep making progress 
Of…What lies ahead and dead?
Hid in the mask of shallow, hollow emptiness 
Love, can’t stand your utter dread

On the outside,
In front of the mirror
I feel deep inside
I’m merely an error…

On the outside,
In back of the shadows and the blessed breeze blows from head to toes 
I feel like I hide
In radiant reflections of who-knows-where-the-wicked-wind-blows

Outside looking in — you’re not abiding by my side…

All..
Alone.
