Lyrics

You walk the thin line
Don't wanna lose your soul
But the hammer of justice has gone to hell
Then you realize you are the guardian
Of a truth that no longer fits the bill
When the music dies, you carry on
Deep into the night
When the shadows melt in light
It's plain to see, it's only empty dreams
You are an outsider looking in
Stranger in your own house
It must be hard, I know
To be the only one wondering why everybody's laughing
And it seems like the joke is all on you
Here you stand with the drifters
Knowing nothing will turn the stream around
You are the lone voice screaming out loud
But the people are deaf, seems like all is lost
But this surge of hope still carries on
Only you can feel, that even in the deepest darkness
Time will turn like a raging bull
You are an outsider looking in
Stranger in your own house
It must be hard, I know
To be the only one wondering why everybody's laughing
And it seems like the joke is all on you
Pressure rising, tempers flaring up
We're near the tipping point
But at the break of dawn, they'll raise another song
And break your righteous heart
You are an outsider looking in
Stranger in your own house
It must be hard, I know
To be the only one wondering why everybody's laughing
And it seems like the joke is all on you
Outsider looking in
Only one wondering
