The Outside
Vorsa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never thought that I'd say I need you
Fucked up, stuck inside this bedroom
You're poison to me but I can't stay away
Can't stay away
Give me something, yeah, anything
Even if it kills me, I'll take it
You're poison to me but I like the taste
I watch from the outside
Looks like it's a good time
But I just stay quiet
Caught in my mind

Hope someday I'll wake up
See my fears are made up
For now, I'll stay quiet
Caught in my mind

Feeling off, everything seems different
Tunnel vision and a pit in my stomach
When you're not around
It doesn't feel the same, feel the same

Waste away, these walls want me dead
I swear, looks like they're closing in
When you're not around
It doesn't feel the same

I watch from the outside
Looks like it's a good time
But I just stay quiet
Caught in my mind

Hope someday I'll wake up
See my fears are made up
For now I'll stay quiet
Caught in my mind

I watch from the outside
Looks like it's a good time
But I just stay quiet
Caught in my mind

Hope someday I'll wake up
See my fears are made up




For now I'll stay quiet
Caught in my mind
