lyrics

Outliers

I saw some silver in your hair
You turned around and looked right through me
You’ll be so beautiful when we’re old
This flickering moonlight scoffs at plans
Takes its time among the sands
Soaked up tears and platelets of the ones that cared

What does the outlier see?

Something to shake off all your fears
Like light in your head room
Someone who knows why you cry tears
That light up your dark truth

The mind's eye sees and plans
Eloquent oratory sways the sands
Swirling dervishes stop on 2 pins of light
Such little interest paid the truth
Pay the viper
Feed their youth
Hear them crying that you just don’t care

What does the outlier see?
What does the outlier hear?
What does the outlier feel?

Something to shake off all your fears
Like light in your head room
Someone who knows why you cry tears
That light up your dark truth
Sometimes the actors go too far
And ruin the picture
Some say it's holding in the stars
A drop in the fissure

Something's moving, something's dark
We know and live that we stop and start
Sing to whispered lying
Show that we do care
About this freedom under rule
Measure their wisdom
Know the fool
Truth is golden leaves falling to the ground

I saw some silver in your hair
You turned around and looked right through me
And in the darkness shone and knew me
I'll meet you at Steve’s on the 10th
You’ll be so beautiful when were old
