The Outside (Inspired By "Stray")

I'm lost in a strange world
Searching for the outside
Cybernetic strangers
Enemies and allies

Small and quick am I
Can't catch me as they multiply
I swear it's not the end of my story
I may be stuck in here
But I won't give into the fear
I'll find my way back
To the outside

As I wander
Across the cyberscape among the waste
I wonder
If the world I knew is forever erased

On the inside looking out yo
Debasing any trace of doubt
I'm catatonic if I'm honest
Paranoid hearts in the dark til the sun comes creeping out

Wonder how I'm ever gonna survive
And do I have what it takes to make it through alive
Kneading claws on the walls like sharpening knives
Running to the other side with the last of nine lives

Small and quick am I
Can't catch me as they multiply
I swear it's not the end of my story (ahhh)
I may be stuck in here
But I won't give into the fear
I'll find my way back
To the outside

As I wander
Across the cyberscape among the waste
I wonder
If the world I knew is forever erased

Don't give up
Don't let go
You've come so far
I'm here but
We are not the same
So don't fall apart

Small and quick am I
Won't do much as we say goodbye
But this can't be the end of my story (end of my story)
No longer stuck in here
But my heart always will be near
I'll be by your side

As I wander
(Wander)
Across the cyberscape among the waste
I wonder
(Ahh) (wonder)
If we can start anew the world we create
