Outsiders (Acoustic) from DARK NATURE by Michaela Betts

My fears and hopes
A swinging rope
One step could end it all
I know my worth
It's in the eyes of my executioner

Don't make me
Don't break me
My skin is strong like armour
You changed me
You lead me
Like a lamb to the slaughter

They will not cry for us
We are the outsiders
Those who never were here
Who don't hurt and don't feel
Raise a toast raise a glass
To the first and the last
Of all the outsiders

On borrowed time
Thin air we climb
With no desire

Made to survive
In death we fight
We have no right

You gave me
You saved me
With skin as white as snow
Our bodies and our minds
Joined in a last communion

You gave me
You saved me
With blood as red as roses
Our bodies and our minds
Joined in a last communion

They will not cry for us
We are the outsiders
Those who never were here
Who don't hurt and don't feel
Raise a toast raise a glass
To the first and the last
Of all the outsiders
