[verse 1]

[verse 1] How can I reach out from this fence, This marble tower I defend, Why does nobody realize, That I am not who I pretend. [verse 2] I feel a distance to the world, Now all is falling into place, The more compliant I become, I feel that I'm another race. [Refrain] Alien species, what planet did I come from, Stranger in life, Why must I walk this path alone. [verse 3] I play my role as I was thaught, But I am not the one they know, I need to find someone who sees, The isolation is a show. [verse 4] I long to find some of my kind, A friend to see behind the guise, To cheer me up if I should cry, But then I see that no one tries. [Refrain] Alien species, what planet did I come from, Stranger in life, Why must I walk this path alone. [Verse 5] I speak to you but no one hears, They think I'm fine but that's not true, Could I break up this chained control, Then I could start to reach for you. [Refrain] Alien species, what planet did I come from, Stranger in life, Why am I being so alone. What planet did I come from, Why am I being so alone.
