Sweet Stranger

A pillar of salt stands in the dead grass
I cut my hand
This city is empty and cramped
One half trapped
It's a mutual exchange
Strained on the face of it
Like the moon is a crescent
And it's familiar to look at

Sweet sweet stranger
This pattern is growing dangerous
It's a dream everyone wakes from
But I'm still tired
I'm still young

When the dust settles
Rust has taken metal
Your focus glass drops
Every rat in the race has lost
What's the ghost watching
When you're smoke unfolding
Poor quiet buyer
Your fragile house is on fire

Sweet sweet stranger
This pattern is growing dangerous
It's a dream everyone wakes from
But I'm still tired
I'm still young

Light from symmetry
And a changing scene
I believe I believe
In dimness from distance
All I've got is a dead branch
And a bird that can't sing

Sweet sweet stranger
This pattern is growing dangerous
It's a dream everyone wakes from
But I'm still tired
I'm still young
