Perpetual Outsider
By Dan Miraldi
 
Another day, another dollar
Another pill I was meant to swallow
Cuz I try and I try but I can’t take it no more
I am always out on the street always outside the door
The words you speak – honey they’re so plastic
As you set me up to get my ass kicked
And I get jumped on the corner, I cannot hide
A simple truth I cannot deny that
 
I’m always gonna be an outsider
I’m always gonna be an outsider
Perpetual outsider
I’m always gonna be an outsider
 
Through all the lies that you weave like textile
I think it might be best if I live in exile
I won’t be invited to the next rendezvous
I just throw up my finger and dedicate it to you
Bloody nails I think of it so often
People’ll wait in line to piss on my coffin
In my black leather jacket, I feel the wind on my neck
You can’t change how I’m living and  I don’t need your respect – no.
 
I’m always gonna be an outsider
I’m always gonna be an outsider
Perpetual outsider
I’m always gonna be an outsider
 
My – my anxiety gets the best of me
I feel it come around another nervous breakdown
My – my anxiety gets the best of me
I feel it come around another nervous breakdown
Another nervous breakdown
 
With every day I just get so tired
But I can walk away.  I’m a survivor.
There’s not much honey for me to say
I could try and try, but you won’t hear anyway
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another
Between my critics and my lovers
I look out my window. I am under attack
But I keep on moving forward – keep the wind at my back
 
I’m always gonna be an outsider
I’m always gonna be an outsider
Perpetual outsider
I’m always gonna be an outsider
