Outside Myself Lyrics by ​k.d. lang

Ingénue

1992

[Verse 1]
A thin ice covers my soul
My body's frozen and my heart is cold
And still so much about me is raw
I search for a place to unthaw

[Verse 2]
Something in me broods love into fear
It veils my vision, leaves my thoughts unclear
And my eyes from blue turn to grey
Hoping to mask what they say

[Chorus]
I've been outside myself for so long
Any feeling I had is close to gone
I've been outside myself for so long

[Verse 3]
I have been in a storm of the sun
Basking, senseless to what I've become
A fool to worship just light
When after all, it follows night

[Chorus]
I've been outside myself for so long
Any feeling I had is close to gone
I've been outside myself for so long
So long

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I've been outside myself for so long
Any feeling I had is close to gone
I've been outside myself for so long
