    Story Behind the Song
    This song was spontaneously written in my living room with Ty Young and my brother Matt. It was made for the local talent show and I fit a set of very dark and somewhat depressing lyrics to the music. The song came together well, was simple to play, and his since proven to be fairly popular locally. Written in 1999, performed live in 2001, re-recorded to CD in 2002

    Lyrics
    On the Outside
    Lyrics by Mike Rybak


    Not that they know
    Not that they care
    Stuck on the outside
    Life’s never fair

    Alone on the fringe
    No cover to take
    Caught up in crossfire
    No claim to stake

    (Bridge)

    (Chorus)
    Outside the fence
    Outside the zone
    I’ve gone no place
    I’m all alone

    Cracked on the outside
    Burned on the inside
    Kicked when I’m down
    I’m alone

    Society hurts
    Society maims
    A knife to the heart
    But to them it’s the same

    My theater is empty
    I’ve got the lead role
    Still by myself
    And pain takes its toll

    (Solo)

    (Bridge)

    (Chorus)
    Outside the fence
    Outside the zone
    I’ve gone no place
    I’m all alone

    Cracked on the outside
    Burned on the inside
    Kicked when I’m down
    I’m alone

    They still don’t know
    They still don’t care
    And all that I breathe
    Is their poisonous air

    Where’s all life’s hope
    I’ve lost all my pride
    None of it matters
    I’m on the outside

    I’m on the outside
    I’m on the outside
    I’m on the outside
    I’m on the outside
    I’m on the outside---------------!
