Fates Warning — Outside Looking In lyrics

Lyrics

staring, silent, naked and cold
outside looking in peeling away this fragile shell
to face the fear within
and the man in the mirror looks on as the cuts begin
outside looking in getting over my fears and under my skin
tearing myself apart
to feel whole again, outside looking in running, tired, tortured and torn
outside looking in clawing away these open scars
to heal the wounds within
and the man in the mirror looks out
as he reaches in outside looking in getting over my fears and under my skin
tearing myself apart
to feel whole again, outside looking in too many things left undone
too late to turn back
i could change course before the end
but when all is said and done
all i really want
is a chance to start again
staring, silent, naked and cold
outside looking in feeling my way through this wilderness
for a place to begin
and the man in the mirror reaches out
to the man within
