Dave Schauss - Outside My Door Lyrics

Through the lens we all look the same
When squinting with one eye
Underneath we're all flesh and bone
It's kind of funny how I can't see
Beyond my own blue skies
Close my door
I'm safe inside my home
It doesn't hurt when we only see
The news in black and white
But it doesn't change the fact it's real
I admit that I can see
So I can't say I'm blind
To a heart that's trying not to feel
But it does
Yes it does
Tortured and dying
Frozen and crying
It's the world outside my door
How can I ignore it
Fill me with the need
To see what's around me
It's the word outside my door
It can't take much more
There's been a lot that's happened in
The last 15 years
Even some in my own paradise
I'm ashamed that I can't say
That I have given tears
For anyone who wasn't in my life
But it's true
Yes it's true
Tortured and dying
Frozen and crying
It's the world outside my door
How can I ignore it
Fill me with the need
To see what's around me
It's the word outside my door
It can't take much more
I remember a time when I
Was not so far removed
In a little girl about the age of mine
Was fear it could happen to me
That made me turn away
Please forgive this cold heart of mine
Heart of mine
Heart of mine
Tortured and dying
Frozen and crying
It's the world outside my door
How can I ignore it
Fill me with the need
To see what's around me
It's the word outside my door
It can't take much more
