Many claim to be
"On the outside looking in"
Well guess what?
I'm on the inside.
But I'm looking out.

I can only hope to escape
So I sit and watch
As people look in.

If they only knew.

Inspired by the song outside by staind.
"I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you"
