Living Outside Ourselves


Some pictures formed on neon screens
These faces made for lives deceived
Inside our rooms to kill some time
We'll pick and choose what's left to find

Now you're not here, I'm passing through
On holiday from what we knew
Some lives to fake for what they need
Outside ourselves and what it breeds

Do we know what we're fighting for?
It's all for show and no one needs it anymore
Still dressed to go, discarding what's ignored
We're living outside ourselves
Living outside ourselves

They wake you up when you can't sleep
Distorted nights beneath the sheets
When what you are ain't what you'll be
It lies in what you still can't see

It's so misleading, but you need it
Falling down onto your knees, yeah

Do we know what we're fighting for?
It's all for show and no one needs it anymore
Still dressed to go, discarding what's ignored
We're living outside ourselves
Living outside ourselves

I remember every image
Thrown away, it's what we're given
Nothing changes who we are
Inside ourselves to come apart
Inside ourselves to come apart

Do we know what we're fighting for?
It's all for show and no one needs it anymore
Still dressed to go, discarding what's ignored
We're living outside ourselves
We're living outside...

Do we know what we're fighting for?
It's all a show but no one sees it anymore
Still dressed to go, discarding what's been whored
We're living outside ourselves
Living outside ourselves

I remember every image
So throw away what you've been given now
