Outsider
from The Crowning (EP) by Dead Teach the Living
lyrics
These halls alone
I've only known
Never seen light
The trees grow too tight
And tall
A tower above it all
I'll climb
Raging through me
A cold fire churns
Infinite horrors, a decaying tomb
Madness grows in emptiness
It's bleak below you know?
Am I destined for solitude until the end
A far bigger world but will I ever know
Ruminations of solitude until the end
Trepidation is no fool
Pull from above
Blank pages to be filled
Now strikes the hour
When my future is revealed
Precarious climber
The foot holds crumble beneath my feet
Push upon the marble door, what awaits me?
I breach the surface
Like a new born child, a brand new life
The slab drops down with a boom
For the first time I see the moon
The moon is full, as I am with anxiety
A warm cheer fills the night and I move towards gay revelry
Standing here, looking at distorted faces
Run for the doors
Horrible screams from nearly every throat
Where is this beast so terrifying
To chill blood and warp minds
and then I caught a glimpse
And just like Howie P told it, as if in a trance
I stepped forward - stumbled in fact!
And my out streched finger met polished glass...
OH NO!
I have seen light
No cure for my plight
Eternal I howl
Along the winds trail
No more a home, with demons I roam
Raging through me, forever the outsider
I've only known
Never seen light
The trees grow too tight
And tall
A tower above it all
I'll climb
Raging through me
A cold fire churns
Infinite horrors, a decaying tomb
Madness grows in emptiness
It's bleak below you know?
Am I destined for solitude until the end
A far bigger world but will I ever know
Ruminations of solitude until the end
Trepidation is no fool
Pull from above
Blank pages to be filled
Now strikes the hour
When my future is revealed
Precarious climber
The foot holds crumble beneath my feet
Push upon the marble door, what awaits me?
I breach the surface
Like a new born child, a brand new life
The slab drops down with a boom
For the first time I see the moon
The moon is full, as I am with anxiety
A warm cheer fills the night and I move towards gay revelry
Standing here, looking at distorted faces
Run for the doors
Horrible screams from nearly every throat
Where is this beast so terrifying
To chill blood and warp minds
and then I caught a glimpse
And just like Howie P told it, as if in a trance
I stepped forward - stumbled in fact!
And my out streched finger met polished glass...
OH NO!
I have seen light
No cure for my plight
Eternal I howl
Along the winds trail
No more a home, with demons I roam
Raging through me, forever the outsider
