Lyrics:

On the outside looking in, through windows bulletproof but paper thin.
Draw the line two steps away, might I take this life as my one and only fate as I silently spectate.

These are the eyes, looking through walls of glass I watch the world around me. These are the hands they touch but they don't feel, woah.

Digging deeper down inside, hiding further from the warmth that I'm denied. Running from the warmth of day, take it in too much and I might just burn away so keep two steps away.

These are the eyes, looking through walls of glass I watch the world around me. These are the hands, they touch but they don't feel.

These are the words, hollow and worthless don't tell that I'll find another way I'm two steps away from everything, yeah.

These are the eyes, looking through walls of glass I watch the world around me. These are the hands they touch but they don't feel.

This is the fist, shaking its scorn at the world that couldn't touch me, into my eyes, you look but you don't see.

This is the mind, growing tired and weary from the fear inside, this is the heart, the blood, the pulse if ever a day I feel alive.

These are the words, hollow and worthless don't tell that I'll find another way I swear, just keep me two steps from it all.
