The California Outlaw Lyrics

This golden state, my frozen fate

This time isn't any different

Blindsided, through rose glasses

I'm such a fool, I always have been

And I'm caught up in this

Repetition compulsion

Doomed to repeat the same patterns

Over again

Am I meant to forge every path? Oh

Got no footsteps in which to follow

And I'm stuck in paradise on my own

Walking this perfect beach alone

Your resident outcast

Persona-non-grata

The California outlaw

This golden cage, held hostage

Same bitter role, just different stage

And where has taking the high road

Ever gotten me?

I could die guiltless, but just not happy

Am I meant to forge every path? Oh

Got no footsteps in which to follow

And I'm stuck in paradise on my own

Walking this perfect beach alone

Your resident outcast

Persona-non-grata

The California outlaw

No poster, not wanted dead or alive

Here I'm living, here I'm dying

I'm crying in my closet

But no one will ever see

That I am the outlaw

The outlaw is me

A nightmare living in this place might be

But nowhere else will have me

Cuz I am the outlaw

The outlaw is me

Your resident outcast

Persona-non-grata

The California outlaw

Your resident outcast

Persona-non-grata

The California outlaw

The California outlaw
