Never Fit In

I lay my view on this world

when I don’t speak I see it more clearly

why talk? they won’t understand

they keep working on me

but I don’t march by command

I always knew as I always will

this place holds no warm embraces

so why come out and try to fit in?

I know there is simply now way

I will be ever one of them

never one of them

I made my retreat into safety and quiet

locked in my own private skin

stepping away from the rattle and hum

in here I don’t have to fit in

I don’t have to fit in

I can’t raise my hand

but I am never fit in

I raise my hand

there is no going back to where I have come from

and here I am the perfect misfit

I watch them, I listen, I thought I could learn

but I am never be one of them

you can label me crazy and label me dumb

my lover thought sorrow could drown

instead the bottle ended up drinking him

slowly under the ground

until he was robbed of everything

I can still raise my hand

but I am never fit in

I raise my hand

but l am never fit in

never fit in

well I don’t have to fit in

but I raise my hand
