What is a bystander? The victim or the inflictor? You bank on that specific shade of grey Because who's to say? I recognized your face Scared stiff in space Three blocks away I just came to see my friend play bass She left the drama team last May I heard your friends Were talking ugly on the inside It was all relayed to me today So I walk by on the outside I'll play the fool since you need one Plus all of LA has seen me undone And you're under ego's ugly thumb Reflect it back His face goes numb I heard your friends Talking ugly on the inside It all got back to me today So I walk by on the outside ♪ That ain't no way to treat a friend Now I'm ugly on the inside I'm spitting ink like venom And I've got to get it out tonight I've got to get it out tonight I've got to get it out tonight
