Outlines of Dreams Lyrics

Am I younger than I look?

Am I older than I seem to be?

Do I still walk confidently?

Will I make another friend?

Will they want to sit next to me?

Not now, but eventually

Should I talk about the art?

Always mentioning the start of how

I got here anyway?

Or just ignore all the past

To just amuse all the masses and hear

What they have to say?

Do I pretend to not be crazed?

Do I pretend to be amazed?

Do I repress this very thing

That first inspired me to sing?

We all just hear what's in our head

We can't but still try to go to bed

My heart is strong, my arms are weak

Sometimes I forget how to speak

In this fish tank of a town

I'm swimming up

I breathe in the hot steam

Yet it's so easy to drown

I'm swimming up

I see the outlines of dreams

Do I have a timid front?

Did I say something too blunt?

Should I reinvent myself?

Will I ever dance again?

What do I do on the weekends?

And what about my mental health?

I feel the ground on both my feet

This feels like home with a heart beat

I feel the fear of unknown

I feel alive but all alone

I feel my mind is fully charged

But all our egos are enlarged

I need to meditate and shout

I need to figure it out

In this fish tank of a town

I'm swimming up

I breathe in the hot steam

Yet it's so easy to drown

I'm swimming up

I see the outlines of dreams
