Stranger In the Hall

Gone with a trace
Because you're much too proud
To request to be found
Out of place
To pin you down and paralyse the chase
And I know
That your dogma wasn't perfect as you'd planned
In a way, it'll drive you though you just can't understand
The reason why this wicked life finds a way
To fuck you over every time you
Thread the needle
Shakes another hand to corrode
The ankle of Achilles slows you down
You replace and restore what you can to crawl away
No sleep

Another day to change the way you shape the mould
The feeling came and gave away the shade to temporary pause
Fade away
Will it ever be the same as it was?
Null and void

Caught in a race against some clock
Against your will to face the regret
That eats away to misguide and forget
And the thought
A conveyor belt that sends you to the start
In my head
The jury returns and they burn to deliver upon
The reason why this wicked life decides to abuse
A criminal vessel for battered aspiring cadavers
To jump start the decomposing through
I know we're not so different
Related shades of grey
Ants drawn to the surface
Tinted rose halos

Another day to change the way you shape the mould
The feeling came and gave away the shame to temporary pause
Fade away
Will it ever be the same as it was?
Hopeless

Floating through a dream
Woken to a call
I wipe my eyes to see
A stranger in the hall
I've never seen your face
Intuition's grave
Hallucinated alien now reaches to embrace

Another day to change the way you break the mould
The feeling came and gave away the strain to fix the hate you hold
Break away
Will it ever be the same as it was?
Null and void
