I am an outlier

no matter how hard I try

I still can’t fit inside any clan

I walk through their circles

I knock on every door

but silence is the answer once again

I am an outlier too

I know the way your heart aches

the feeling of not knowing where to stand

I laugh and talk and try

but people pass like shadows

and no one ever seems to understand

A: I wonder if I should change my colors

B: I wonder if I should hide my light

A: trying hard to blend into their sky

B: losing pieces of myself each night

Should we try a little harder

just to fit in just to belong

or should we stay right where we’re standing

keep our own rhythm write our own song

If being us means standing farther

maybe distance sets us free

We’re outliers

but these outliers might still learn

who we’re meant to be

A: Maybe someday someone listening

hears the truth inside my tone

B: maybe someday all this wandering

leads me somewhere I can call home

Should we try a little harder

or stay here where we can breathe

We’re outliers

but these outliers might still learn

who we’re meant to be

We’re outliers

walking side by side

finally free
