Description
"Outer Shell"I am walking, walking
Near the neighborhood
When I am suddenly struck
Hard and punched around
And caught into that cage,
Reserved just for me,
Again.
They spurned me,
They beat me,
They laughed in my face.
And I, I
Could only stay there,
Thrown around, a meaningless
Rag doll, and say nothing.
And I, I
Wished with all my might,
Their laughter ringing
In my ears,
Stumbling home, bloody and bruised,
So weak that I could hardly stand,
Cruel words stuck in,
Piercing my brain forever,
Frozen.
And I, I
Secretly wished with all my might
Someone would care enough
At home to treat me,
That people didn’t just
Care for superficial beauty
And the way I dressed.
That they looked at me
And saw me.
I wished I could break free
Of all the labels
Thrust onto me
But, still, I knew, deep down,
That they were correct
And fitting.
And that, that
Only lessened my faltering will
But, still, I wished that,
I wished, I truly did,
Secretly, when no one
Could see me,
When I was hidden,
Though my outer really was me,
I still wish that...
Yeah, I wanna be free.
Yeah, I wanna change.
Yeah, it’s not possible but,
Yeah, I still secretly wish it, though
Yeah, I ain’t gonna change
Yeah, I’m just gonna be me
Yeah, I am different than I act
Yeah, I am deeper than you believe
Yeah, it hurts to be me
And
Yeah, I suppose that I am doomed to die
Alone.
In that cage, reserved
Just for me,
Secrets hidden,
Finally free and escaped from
This horrid Earth, this horrid life.
All of a sudden, I keel over,
Cough up red, and black envelopes me.
