Lost In The Outline Lyrics

Lost in the outline
A leper in your mind

Betrayal spewing from behind your teeth
Exiled, denial suppressing memories
You preach and all I hear is serpents speech
Misguiding all you touch
Misleading all who seek

Never escape from this maze
We are all circling
Cover your eyes, follow the blind
You will not break from these walls
Absent after all
Absent after all
Hostage to our downfall

Broken
Born to be broken
Bent to their will
Loathing what the world took away
Broken
Corrupted mind cracks
The shell of the heart
Betrayed
We all play the part
We all fall apart

Cast the weightless stones
The solemn curse of man
Plagued by all you can conceive
Unchanged in what I am

Never escape from this maze
We are all circling
Cover your eyes, follow the blind
You will not break from these walls
Absent after all
Absent after all
Hostage to our downfall

Pull the strings
Let it all unravel
Cut the cord
This life will bleed you fucking dry
Bleed you fucking dry

Lost in the outline
A leper in your mindLost in the outline
A leper in your mind

Never escape from this maze
We are all circling
Cover your eyes, follow the blind
You will not break from these walls
Absent after all
Absent after all
Hostage to our downfall

Cut the cord
Life will bleed you dry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The bands guitarist Grayson Stewart says of this track; “As a human, you’re often just a rat on a wheel. You’re moving forward in your perspective, but you’re never actually accomplishing anything. ‘Lost In The Outline’ gets into the lies you’re told when you’re young. You come to this realization that you have no agency over what happens to you or what you do. You’re a cog in the machine.”
