it's outside...

you've watched me do unimaginable things without so much as a shudder
you've seen me make children cry
iv'e disowned friends without regret
iv'e seen many people die

you asked me where my real self is..
and to that same question i give the answer
it's outside my body watching me
destroy myself like cancer

i've watched myself and wondered if it's real
iv'e seen other hearts break because mine wouldn't beat for theres
iv'e watched myself beat a man senseless
and then walk away with no cares

you asked me where my soul is

it's outside

you asked me where my heart is

it's outside

watching my body
watching me float through life
watching but always to far away to really matter

you asked me

it's outside where i left it
