LYRIC FOR SALE

By Alextojanov

**[Intro]**

Overtired, overstimulated,
Overbearing, overcomplicated.
To continue is to lose my mind,
And to stop is to fall behind.

**[Verse 1]**

I can't tell when it all started,
Or when my sanity departed.
Always watching, always on the lookout,
I want these fires to be fucking put out.

Going forward while trying to keep sane,
All this suffering, what's the fucking gain?
All the pain, all of these uncertainties,
Is this really how life must always be?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Giant spectral snake has curled around my soul,
And it's squeezing hard, for help I can't call.
Everyone around me has their hooks deep in me,
And they're pulling me apart and they don't really see me.

**[Chorus 1]**

Looking on the outside,
Looking on the inside,
I can't see myself.

Looking on the outside,
Looking on the inside,
Where have I left?

**[Verse 2]**

Little specks of dust,
With my eyes I follow.
Is it really that bad?
Must I always wallow?

Without all this suffering,
Would it really matter?
When you're always at the top,
How could it get better?

Being at the top seems like a boring spot,
All the fun things happening below while you wait and rot.

**[Chorus 2]**

Looking on the outside,
Looking on the inside,
I can see some guy.
Is that really I?

Looking on the outside,
Looking on the inside,
I can see somebody.
Why is this man bloody?

**[Bridge]**

I can raise my head,
I think I just might.
Suffering is both life's
Blessing and blight.

I will keep on running
Till the day I stop,
And in all this misery I will find hope.

**[Final Chorus]**

Looking on the outside,
Looking on the inside,
I can finally see
That the guy is me.

Looking on the outside,
Looking on the inside,
I finally embrace
myself and my space.
