Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Watchin' myself when I'm taking strides, but here comes the moon

And it feels, and it feels like an informer, quick, run away, hide before they see you

You know it is all, all aglow

[Verse 2]

Walking on water seems perilous now, you got my trust

And it feels, and it feels like sabotage, but I'm pulling triggers back on myself

And you know it is all, all I know, it's all I know

[Chorus]

And it feels so real from the outside looking in

And it feels so real from the outside

From the out, from the out, tyrant

Tyrant

[Verse 3]

Capable of almost anything, this crippled bird's gonna sing, gonna bring you all the answers

Turn around, look, your shadow's cooking up beautiful

Lies for you, that's what they do

[Chorus]

And it feels so real from the outside looking in

And it feels so real from the outside

From the out, from the out, from the out, from the out

Tyrant

[Bridge]

I'm stained with apathy

I'm blind, but I can see

A tyrant to the bones, yeah

I'm stained with apathy

I'm blind, but I can see, oh

Don't justify me

Don't justify me, yeah

Justify me, yeah

Oh, don't justify me

Justify, justify me

[Outro]

From the out, from the out, from the out

From the out, from the out, from the out

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
