Real Friends - From The Outside
[Verse 1]
Swallowing the feeling
Counting cracks across the ceiling
Never reached the depths of them before
Finding flaws in every format
I know but haven't shown that
I could pick myself up off the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll fill my glass to take the edge off
The choice is mine
[Chorus]
From the outside, I seem fine
On the inside, I'm still sick
The pill's a temporary fix
From the outside, I seem fine
[Verse 2]
Redefine rock bottom
With these empty orange bottles
Never felt so paralyzed before (never felt this paralyzed)
We’re all looking for some answers
With the hangman’s broken lantern
Growing ever closer to the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll fill my glass to take the edge off
The choice is mine
[Chorus]
From the outside, I seem fine
On the inside, I'm still sick
The pill's a temporary fix
From the outside, I seem fine
[Bridge]
(Why do I, why do I) feel so damn cold?
(Why am I, why am I) still so low?
(Why should I, why should I) get up or get out?
Why should I? (Why?)
[Chorus]
From the outside, I seem fine
On the inside, I'm still sick
The pill's a temporary fix
From the outside, I seem fine
I seem fine
[Outro]
On the inside, I'm still sick
The pill's a temporary fix
From the outside
Produced by Mike Green, From The Outside explores Real Friends’ frontman, Dan Lambton, struggling to decide right from wrong, and not being able to communicate those feelings to friends and family. ‘This song in particular addresses uncertainties pertaining to not knowing what may be good for you or in your best interest,” explains Lambton. “Whether it be medication, drugs, alcohol, psychiatric treatment, etc. and generally not being able to navigate the inner workings of your mind to know what is going on with your mental state.’ Beginning June 21 at the Pomona Fairplex Grounds in Pomona, CA, the band will be heading the final Vans Warped Tour across the country. It’s been two years since the band released their third studio LP, The Home Inside My Head, which earned a Billboard Top 200 chart placement. Since then, the band has sold out shows across the country and has been actively writing/recording in the studio.
