The Outsider Lyrics

Help me if you can
It's just that this
Is not the way I'm wired, so

Could you please
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires you're

Lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this?
Such a mess, why would I want to watch you?

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die

Medicated, drama queen
Picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcissistic drama queen
Craving fame and all its decadence

Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you, precious?
Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this?
Such a mess, why would I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, you're pounding on the fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you, precious?
I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess
Over this, over this

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger
Should your drama prove sincere
Do it somewhere far away from here

What is the Meaning of The Outsider?

I think this is either a continuation of the last song and the inner self coming out repulsed by the addicted personality it finds or a reaction to a self pitying soul encountered during recovery. Either way it's a stark example of how an addict can be shocked by what it finds after a long battle with addiction.
