the stranger

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I took your ghost for a walk last night But I lost you in the snow Six months of isolation Speaking with someone I don't know I had something to say But it was lost in thought And someone else is sitting where I used to have a spot Cherry pipe tobacco And a can of Coca-Cola Something sweet to contrast The bitter aroma I thought I saw you outside my window But it was just the smoke from [?] And I've been staring down too much Nihilism can make your back hurt And I am not immune To the forces that change her For recently I've become Something of a stranger [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Months spent arguing With the stranger in my head And only one of us can make it out And he wants me dead Said I wasn't good for anything And I'd never be enough So I became the stranger Just to get him to shut up
