you hear the noise it's your alarm you're barely poised to move your arm get up for work forget the night cuz it could hurt and that just might, make you a little less productive for the day ahead get on the bus arrive on time and you're with us from 9 to 5 caffeine at ten the usual you see the end your cubicle every day feels like a movie drug montage why is every fire drill a false alarm? twelve divisions in a circle urging you to get to work or face things that you'd never choose prioritize effeciency if it's all lies then they're all me Fluorescent Fraud the sun is out if there's a god he cares about you spending every waking hour caught inside a box he's given you the key but hidden all the locks

Part 2 i got nothing much to say to you so i'll talk a little louder and maybe then you'll find the needle in my hay in what i say you're playin' by my rules one fool playing two i got nothing much i wanna do but i'll stick around awhile we can shoot the shit a bit and then i'll go 
 before you know you're playin' by my rules one fool playing two you don't even notice when i'm right 
you don't even try and when i lie 
there's nothing you can do what's right in front of me 
isn't right in front of you and every time you tell me 
that's the way it's gotta be you pretend to understand 
and in the end nobody understands but me

I Won't Say look at me tell me what you think you see behind these eyes i'm screaming and you don't even believe so tell me what's he done this time and let the tears come streaming cuz you're not on my mind don't cry for me it's just an act and this time i swear that i won't bring you back i dreamt tonight that i could fly and that is why i'm still dreaming anyway you tell me that you're crying you are so afraid believe me when i tell you what i'll do don't tell me how you're feeling cuz tonight ain't about you don't smile for me it's just to hide whatever the fuck it is you keep inside and when you need you bleed me dry and that is why and every time i hear the phone i wish that you'd leave me alone cuz i'm not going to waste my time i'm gone and i won't say goodbye

Shoot Me there’s no blood and no scars no excessive nights of drinking at the bar i am dreaming of the time we climbed the roof in waterloo as we’re looking on the city i would rather look at you and i’m thinking about telling you as if you didn’t know but i sense your hesitation so i simply gaze below you have let me down in summertime i get the runaround you let this die there’re no highs like before and no lows necessitating your defense no more and i guess that things look different from an elevated place if you feel that you’re above it all i cannot save my face so i promise you eternity and you commit a while and it’s obviously ominous but i am in denial you have let me down in summertime I get the runaround you let this die what you got for me an english word, a touch a letdown in a month i’m not worth much and a shot rings through the city it annihilates your pledge i don’t notice that it hit me til i stumble off the edge i am falling from the rooftop i am bleeding from the head and the night air rushes past me in a moment i’ll be dead and the last thing that i’m seeing as i look up from the street is the smoking gun you’re holding blur as you look down on me but the thing that really gets me more than you holding the gun is that this dream feels better than the things you’ve really done

about

The Outside World Saint Catharines, Ontario

'The Outside World' was born out of the wreckage of the grunge era, towards the late 90s. As bands like the ‘Smashing Pumpkins’ and ‘Matthew Good Band’ were dropping like flies, our band realized that the old adage about wanting something done right applies particularly when you’re a connoisseur.

We hope you enjoy our music as much as we do.
