Wearing the Inside Out

"Wearing the Inside Out" is a song from Pink Floyd's 1994 album, The Division Bell. It is the first Pink Floyd song since "Time" from The Dark Side of the Moon where Richard Wright sings lead.

This song was never performed live by Pink Floyd, although it was performed on David Gilmour's 2006 On An Island tour, and appears on the Remember That Night DVD and on the bonus CD of the Deluxe version of Live in Gdańsk.

Lyrics:

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognize I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word...overrun

Won't hear a sound
From my mouth
I've spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart's
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's coming round
He's starting to choke
It's been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again

I'm holding out
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I'm with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again

The kindest most gentle soul that was ever on this planet ,,,I have forgiven Roger ,,, i think Roger has overcome his Demons ,,He abused Rick badly ,, I hope Rick Forgave him in the end
