Stay Outside

From Indian Lakes


We came from outside, and our boots were dirty
But we hurried to get in from the cold
Can we rest our eyes if you tell us you've been
Looking for another able body?
But not you, or anyone that looks like you
But if you can find anyone that looks like me

We hate the outside, and our chests were hurting
But we worried you’d see into our souls
Can we take our time if you tell us you've been
Looking for somebody you can trust?
But not you, or anyone that looks like you
But if you can find anyone that looks like me

I was allowed to push you around, and take you outside
And make you believe you’re nothing
Outside everyone looks the same without you
I would do anything to feel it again
Wait for the sound at your door
Stay outside

We've been hiding in our houses together screaming,
"Stay outside, please stay outside"
You can see it in our bloodshot eyes that
We've been looking for someone
Anyone, but not you, or anyone that looks like you
But if you can find anyone that looks like me

I was allowed to push you around, and take
You outside, and make you believe you’re nothing
Outside everyone looks the same without you
I would do anything to feel it again
Wait for the sound at your door
Stay outside
I saw your death, but you won’t leave
I'll never be like them
Stay outside
