Lyrics for Outside

I saw a name in the graveyard that I knew Glowing, like the neon in a lounge light Spelled just the same as the twinge that crawls through you As it, passes slowly through a fast night Dear everything i've harmed the fault lies on my tongue And I, take it holy as a last rite I picked away all the gray hairs that i'd grown That remained on the Outside And I'm wound tight And bound by The secrets you saved The pieces you kept They've risen and slept Without you I tried to break all the objects that I threw When I, kept the tidiness of town life I tried to sing all the verses that I knew Of it, screaming softly in a loud mic How do i blame all my carelessness on you Tell me, taking is mostly what it sounds like Hard words to sing but I laughed cause they were true And it's seen on the Outside And I'm wound tight And bound by The pieces you saved The secrets you kept They've risen and slept Without you
