Strangest Stranger

Chasing vacant sensation

The people passing on the street, I pretend they are me
Invisible I aspire to be the watcher and the unseen
Forging false identities. An actor acting in a scene
Countless hours practicing the art of shapeshifting
Appetized by mystery
Following an empty belly. Nothing's as it seems
So I'm reaching into my eyes to rearrange what I see

We don't get what we deserve, merely what we take
In the shadow of the abyss, we invent deities
Why do we always pretend like we aren't stumbling through the dark?
You can't expect to find yourself. You must craft who you are

Strangers are clutter in a nexus of lovers
Floating undiscovered, underfoot, Jettison
In your eyes I see strangeness. The kind that's contagious
An infection to the bone that repeals slumber
Hibernate through change. Disembark, Disengage
Live shoulder to shoulder encapsulated in disenchantment
Many are coerced to live this way
But you know it's a masquerade

Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Whoa
Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Whoa

Stranger
Stranger
Stranger
Whoa
Stranger
Stranger
Stranger Whoa
