Outside

"Outside" is a song by LorD and Master written about depression and how it is an invisible ailment.

Lyrics

On waking up
I see your face
My mind won't stop
It sets the pace
Crashing around
From thought to though
The lessons learned
The lessons taught
But life's to short

There's a cloud over my head
Filling me with dread
No one knows it's there
I'm smiling on the outside
Talking to myself
I don't need your help
Knowing that you're there
Makes all the difference

And then, by day
People I meet
They're just the same
They're on repeat
An endless sea
Of shaking hands
Here to fulfill
Their sordid plans
The sycophants

When I lay down to sleep
I feel the great divide
And all I ever need is the 
Warmth you can provide
Too hot, too cold 
Too up, too down
Too wrapped up in my mind
Too good, too bad 
Too soon to see what 
There can be to find
