STUCK OUTSIDE... AWAY FROM THE STARS.

In my room
the stars are shining, tonight
In my room
the stars are shining so bright

But I'm not there
I'm in the outside world
Stuck in the dark
crying out my tortured soul.

I've been beaten and abused
and I've been yelled at
and accused
of doing things I didn't do.

I've been left alone crying
in an emotional desert
with just tatters in the wind
to wait for the vultures to eat away my skin.

But I don't want that to happen.
Oh no, I don't.

But this world is so lonely
for one so needy
as me.
