The World Outside


A month's too long to stay and wait,
He has nothing to do, and he's getting late.
Sits out the days, and eyes on the screen,
With silent complains; it's what he's been.
Oh no, he's all alone,
He feels let down, cause he's on his own.
Lying and denying to how things have gone,
The world outside stands dark and lives unknown....

Outside the window...

The sun, set to burn, burns a thousand soles,
A child, forgets to smile; the cost of getting old,
Serving drinks, wants to think but he cant understand.
What debt he pays out, to the working class man...

A path, aftermath, that she chooses to take,
One girl, against a world saying its a mistake.
Run away, from hate, and the shadows of doubt,
Finds out what her life is all about!

Oh no! He's all alone,
He feels left out; sitting safe at home.
Lying and denying to how things have gone,
The world outside stands dark and lives unknown....

Heartbeat, on the street, begging for some food,
Dirty face, fall from grace, no one thought he would,
Man the road, his abode; no roof above his head,
Sidewalk turns into a permanent bed.

Rock-hard, boulevard, and he's out on the wheels,
Strong guy, false eye; with the scars that he feels.
Hits the brake, too late; a crowd's making fuss,
Play-time comes to end, crushed under the bus.

Oh no! He's all alone,
He feels left out; sitting safe at home.
Lying and denying to how things have gone,
The world outside stands dark and lives unknown....

A month's too long to stay and wait,
He has nothing to do, and he's getting late.
Sits out the days, and eyes on the screen,
He feels the worst that he's ever been.
The room is a tad bit cold and dim,
Feels like the weight of the world's on him.
His mind hovers along in discontent,
Keeps wondering where everyone went.

Oh no, he's all alone,
He feels let down, cause he's on his own.
Lying and denying to how things have gone,
The world outside stands dark and lives unknown....
