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
