[Verse 1]

The windows of the world are open

Letting all the colors rush in

I can see them dancing in the rain

The door is shut, the hinge is broken

Trapped inside a room that's smoking

Deep inside the mansions of my brain

[Hook]

On the outside looking in

All I need is just a friend

Just someone to let me in

Make me forget myself again

[Verse 2]

The testament is closed and cosigned

The fighting men are on the front lines

I can see them struggling for control

The armies march, the ranks are battered

The ceiling of the church is shattered

I can feel them staring through my soul

[Hook]

On the outside looking in

All I need is just a friend

Just someone to let me in

Make me forget myself again

[Verse 3]

The hypocrites are up and running

The shooter on the hill is gunning

I can hear the soldiers moving on

Why am I still sworn to silence

In a world of death and violence?

Guess I got it coming, won't be long

[Hook]

On the outside looking in

All I need is just a friend

Just someone to let me in

Make me forget myself again

[Hook]

On the outside looking in

All I need is just a friend

Just someone to let me in

Make me forget myself again
