outside their lines
[Verse 1]
Drowning in seas of numbers
That everyone but me determines
Raised up and taught to believe
That I'm only worth
What I can help them achieve
[Chorus]
Boiled down into some data, and I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am outside their lines
Been running round the bases they tell me to, but I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am outside their lines
[Verse 2]
Felt nice at first to think that
I was wanted, that I was needed
But now I'm no longеr fooled by
The lies thеy fed and the way we've all been bled
[Pre-Chorus]
The fire's burning hot
The floods have all come down
After this much rain we're due for a drought
[Chorus]
Boiled down into some data, and I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am outside their lines
Been running round the bases they tell me to, but I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am
[Bridge]
I'm more than
Some algorithm
I'm somebody
And I won't let myself forget that
I'm more than
Some algorithm
I'm somebody
And I won't let myself get—
[Chorus]
Boiled down into some data, and I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am outside their lines
Been running round the bases they tell me to, and I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am
Boiled down into some data, and I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am outside their lines
Been running round the bases they tell me to, but I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am, woah-oh
Boiled down into some data, and I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am outside their lines
Been running round the bases they tell me to, but I'm not
Sure that I remember who I am outside their lines
