Testo Outsider - Assemblage 23
Testo della canzone Outsider (Assemblage 23), tratta dall'album Bruise (Limited Edition)
The door's always closed, isolation imposed
I try the best I can
But the gulf is too wide and I can't stand astride
Such a gigantic span
This impossible distance obscures my existence
Like fog hugging autumn shores
And it's building inside with each wound to my pride
I can't take this anymore
I'm standing right here, I've not disappeared
Yet you look right through me
Do I not exist? A presence unmissed
An unseen identity
I'm on the outside, looking inward
These impenetrable walls restrain me
I could tear them down, but I'm afraid
Of what is on the other side
It's not my intention to covet attention
At least no more than I'm due
But you turned your back, left me in the black
With nothing I could cling to
Was it too much to ask, such an abhorrent task
To simply acknowledge me?
Some small recognition to raze this partition
That makes me feel so empty
I'm on the outside looking inward
These impenetrable walls restrain me
I could tear them down, but I'm afraid
Of what is on the other side
I'm at the point I might break, alone and displaced
An unwelcome nobody
I'm a vessel adrift, traversing the rift
Consumed by an angry sea
Pushed aside by the crowd, I'm screaming out loud
Until my voice is raw
But I won't go away from this perverse ballet
As long as I've breath to draw
I'm on the outside, looking inward
These impenetrable walls restrain me
I could tear them down, but I'm afraid
Of what is on the other side
