I feel out of place Out of place like a mushroom in a green salad Like an all-male rendition of Cats on Broadway Like Godzilla on Melrose Avenue I feel like an adoptee in my own body It's like "Hey! how long have you been here?"
My sentences are cut short whenever I try to speak because Of all the train wreck shows that people could watch, I'm the one that's been off air for billions of years Relevance That's what I lack If I open my mouth I sound like I'm from another planet A stranger on this earth, in this land, in this city And I can't forget my mother's words "You'll fit in somewhere." But the boat to ****** island already left, and I'm a bad swimmer
Let me feel at ease Let even my whispers make sense Let me touch someone without feeling like I'm burning them Let me do my campaign of shock and awe like a living creature in a cabinet of curiosities
I feel out of place Like the lightning that falls inches from the tree Like a satellite thrown off the Earth's orbit Out of place Like a missing sock ****** for the rest of eternity Like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, thank you Katy Perry
In my own skin I feel too big and too small All at once This rock in space feels odd, like it's not home But the mothership is long gone And, what can I say I guess I'm stuck here
