Misfit

[Verse 1 - Soft, observational, slightly distant] Heard your laughter echo, down the crowded hall You move within your circle, never seem to stall You navigate the currents, hold everyone's regard While I just trace the edges, feeling lost and scarred [Pre-Chorus - Building tension, sense of longing] I wish I felt that comfort, you seem so truly grounded [Chorus - Guitars crash in, more volume, angst] But I'm a misfit, I'm a shadow Why do I even stand around? I don't belong on this ground [Verse 2 - More internal, frustrated desire] I don't care about the silence, I want the words to flow I want the nerve to join in, want somewhere real to go I want you to sense something, hidden deep inside While you seem so truly grounded, with nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus - Building again] You seem so truly grounded, I wish I felt that comfort [Chorus - Stronger, heavier] But I'm a misfit, I'm a shadow Why do I even stand around? I don't belong on this ground Oh-oh, oh-oh [Bridge - Heavy rhythmic hits, strained vocal, sense of separation] Your whole world pulls you back now You're turning to the sound They pull, pull, pull, pull Around... [Leaving the speaker outside] [Verse 3 - Quieter again, melancholic resignation] Whatever keeps you steady, whatever path you roam You seem so truly grounded, you always feel like home [Chorus - Full intensity, perhaps fading towards the end] But I'm a misfit, I'm a shadow Why do I even stand around? I don't belong on this ground I don't belong here.
