STRANGER

Lyrics

Soft like a rose, cloaked in daggers
Your grin a guise for all the anger
I'm sorry you thought that you needed to hide
The dirt from inside me
You know I'm filthy

Shut up, and listen
Why don't you give up this mission
Shut up, and look at me
I'm just a stranger who let you think you knew me

You crept up on me like a cat on a mouse
Light on the feet, and loose in the mouth
You waited until you saw me go still
The moment to break me
I'll say it simply

Shut up, and listen
Why don't you give up this mission
Shut up, and look at me
I'm just a stranger who let you think you knew me

Words on the tip of my tongue
Taking aim, cocked back, just for fun
I am not your prodigal son
No, I am not your prodigal son

Just listen
Why don't you give up this mission
Shut up, and look at me
I'm just a stranger who let you think
I'm just a stranger who let you think
I'm just a stranger who let you think you knew me
