I hear ev'ry mother say What a drag it is getting old Doctor please, some more of these Outside the door, she took four more "Kids are different today" Mother needs something today to calm her down And though she's not really ill There's a little yellow

I know I'm asking to much And you'll never be mine again I'm not gonna find You outside of my door What have you done I hate that you let it end And now that your gone And I can't pretend And not coming back again

Outside looking in, my heart lied I gave you everything, everything but blood Everything I had, and everything I've loved You tore away and left me dead inside Another chapter in my life The sun has set, only ashes left behind It turns out I was always

2AM hollerin' outside Lookin' but I cannot find Don't you fall asleep this time I been all alone on a long way drive Only you can stand my mind Only you can fix inside So if I make it out tonight Let's make it a badass time Okay, I got it, copy

Take me as I am. To those who understand, I extend my hand. To the doubtful I demand Not under your command, I know where I stand. I won't change to fit your plan. Takin' in the view from the outside

I can't see this world unless I go Outside my Southern Comfort zone When I miss my Tennessee home When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton, The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody

You sent me flying when you kicked me to the curb And although my pride's, yeah, not easy to disturbed, yeah Lent you outsiders and my new Badu While you were thinking I didn't have a clue Tough to sort files with your voice in my head So then I bribed

Who left me outside That someone holds me tonight Hold me tonight Someone left the door open I'm bent, I'm not broken Come live in my life All the words left unspoken Are the pages I write On my knees and I'm hoping

I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself Running outside the Nazca Lines You know I see you all in white Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines An array to give us life Violence born within my mind

I am not afraid The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth Promising volcanic change of plot When you told me what you knew Lost in the moment The day that the music stopped And I do remember you Where
