janice dudley - the outlier lyrics

[verse 1]
it’s been 5 years since i felt alive
i was born again but the mirror tells a lie
i traded my soul, i walked towards the light
am i chasing dreams, or am i crucified?
i’ve danced with ghosts, i’ve fought with fire
i burned through everything i thought that i desired
maybe i’m not done, but am i here to stay?
i don’t know who i am when the spotlight fades away

[chorus]
i’ll keep playing my song to an empty crowd
i sing what i believe, even when no one’s around
music gives me life, it’s the air i breathe
lеt it be the cure that sеts your spirit free
and though i’m getting older, and i may have my doubts
i’m giving it my all while they try to count me out
i’ve learned to let go, now i look to all that’s higher
i’m finally free, so paint me as the outlier

[verse 2]
i stand in the rain so i can feel something real
each scar i wear is a wound that had to heal
i scream at the sky, i pray for a sign
i run from the silence ’til it echos in the night
i lost a few of my friends, but i made my peace
i’m starting a new chapter, i’m turning a new leaf
the pain made me stronger, the past made me wise
now when i look to my future, it’s no longer black and white
i see in vivid color, i move with open eyes
no longer bound by fear, i’m not wearing a disguise
the weight i carried’s gone, i laid it down for good
i can speak my truth the way i never thought i could
my mirror reflects who i fought to become
i’m not the hopeless girl, i am a rising sun
they called me a dreamer, my fate, they would decide
but i turned their doubt into fuel to stay alive
[chorus]
i’ll keep playing my song to an empty crowd
i sing what i believe, even when no one’s around
music gives me life, it’s the air i breathe
let it be the cure that sets your spirit free
and though i’m getting older, and i may have my doubts
i’m giving it my all while they try to count me out
i’ve learned to let go, now i look to all that’s higher
i’m finally free, so paint me as the outlier

[outro]
portray me as the villain if that’s what you see
i’ll wear it like armor, nothing will break me
you say i’m a sinner, what i believe is wrong
i stand for my people and they sing along
you cry “she’s the devil”, you view me as a threat
but i won’t be broken, i’ve no fear and no regrets
so i will be your martyr, you can cast your stones
but while you convict me, remember, i am not alone
