Outshined

Written by Chris Cornell

I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now
I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota
So now you know, who gets mystified


Show me the power child
I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined
Someone let the dogs out
They'll show where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shitting
I'm feeling that I’m sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking
So now you know, who gets mystified


Show me the power child
I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined
