Misfit
Lesley Roy Lyrics

You never close your eyes
You suffer from insomnia and are unable to sleep at night.

You never sleep at night
You spend your nights awake and unable to rest.

You are an emotional nightmare
Your emotional state is unstable and creates chaos for yourself and those around you.

You are a misfit
You feel like you don't belong or fit in with society around you.

You like to hurt yourself
You engage in self-destructive behavior and actions that harm yourself.

And you don't know why
You don't understand the reason for the self-destructive behavior you engage in.

You're trapped inside your own hell
You feel trapped in a cycle of negative emotions and thoughts that consume you.

No one else knows your name
You feel invisible and unimportant, as though no one knows or cares about you.

See the misfit in the mirror
Look at yourself and recognize the feeling of being an outsider.

See the freak that lives inside
Recognize the feeling of being different and not fitting in with others.

See the misfit in the mirror cry
Acknowledge the pain and sadness felt from being rejected by others.

See the one nobody wanted,
Recognize the feelings of being unwanted or unloved by others.

Shattered by a world of lies
You feel broken and hurt by the lies and false perceptions created by society.

See the misfit in the mirror die
Acknowledge the feeling of hopelessness and despair felt by those who feel like they don't fit in.

You always crash your car,
You engage in self-destructive behavior and actions that lead to negative consequences.

You're like a permanent scar,
Your actions and behavior have caused lasting negative effects on yourself and those around you.

You're just a walking disaster
Your behavior is unpredictable and causes chaos and damage wherever you go.

You are the opposite of moving faster
You feel stuck and unable to make progress or move forward in life.

When you've pushed around,
When you have been mistreated or bullied by others.

When all your walls fall down
When your emotional defenses and coping mechanisms fail and you are left vulnerable and exposed.

And when they call you misfit it's so hard to stop the rage
Being called a 'misfit' triggers feelings of anger and resentment towards those who reject or exclude you.

I see you and I see everything that I hate
The artist sees the negative aspects of themselves reflected in the 'misfit' and feels dislike towards them.

Darkness all around me, makes me suffocate
The singer feels overwhelmed and suffocated by the negative emotions and experiences they see reflected in the 'misfit.'
