While we wait for the day when it’s safe to perform for our TroubleMakers once more, we’ve put together this song and video for you- from our Quarantine Quarters to yours. “Outside-in (Quarantine Session)” deals with the mental health effects of isolation during this time of social distance, and all proceeds will be donated to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255)
The song is also available on all streaming platforms: smarturl.it/outside-in
We can still connect even though we can’t hug. We can still use our words although we cannot freely kiss. We can hold each other up without hands.
Lyrics:
Without a moment’s warning, morning, night to morning I am doing time
Unsure of what I did or even if I did commit a single crime
Won’t someone say what I did wrong?
At least won’t you tell me how long?
This got me walking ‘round in circles talking like a crazy mutha fuck
And trying to picture what and who in life would bring me to this kind of luck
Hell, my patience ain’t doing so well
I’m losing control of myself
Turned up a rage is callin’
‘Round me a cage has fallen
And these bars don’t wanna bend
Got me crawlin’ from my skin
A space is wedged between me
And what i need to fly freely
Solitaire, she ain’t my friend
On the Outside-in
My body don’t know what to feel my head don’t know what’s real and what is not
My soul is losing fire ‘stead of rising higher and I’m ‘bout to drop
Down on my knees to pray
Lord send your prize angels today
All my days are feeling numbered and it’s got me wondering how I’ve been
To all my family who’s been so good to me and every single friend
Will these doors open ‘fore it’s too late
For me to say the words that I’ve yet to say
Turned up a rage is callin’
‘Round me a cage has fallen
And these bars don’t wanna bend
Got me crawlin’ from my skin
A space is wedged between me
And what i need to fly freely
Solitaire, she ain’t my friend
On the Outside-in
The Outside-in
