The Outcast and the Alchemist

Have you ever been made to feel strange

Felt like the scapegoat that everyone blamed

Sat on a thought just wasting away

Questioning things that you've done

You know the one time you steered far from course

Got you dragging your bags filled with remorse

Soaked it all in till no more could absorb

Hung up and rung out to dry

I've seen the loneliest star in a sky where the moon doesn't shine

I been bearing the heaviest heart

Wondering if I'd burn out bright

I've searched for the love of my life

In a world where no love could be found

I've been at the top of it all but managed to find my way down

I dreamt I was locked in a cage

I knew you were there but couldn't see your face

I heard your voice so I'd patiently wait

Wondering how to wake up

Though I knew it was a dream

The fear felt so real as I whispered a scream

I kicked and I scraped to exit the state

But the night  light it took me away, the night life it took me away

Have you ever been burdened and strained

Felt like the wind was chasing your flame

Opportunity past but you missed the train

Standing there wondering how

Just standing there wondering how
