The Stranger

Untied the ropes
So I could float out to the ocean
Came to your door
Came to a land I’d never seen before
Never seen before

My mind was full
Of your stories, of your escapades
“Dig deeper still!
Dig deeper to the core!” you said

Pull my strings some more
Raise my fever, drain my soul until it’s sore
Let me climb inside
Tear my walls down
Make it so I can’t hide
Oh hide from you

Trod on the nerve
You turned your back, you ran away from me
I have no right
I have no right to stand so close, to see
No right to see

Can’t speak the truth
Can’t even speak, I am the stranger here
One day I’ll cross, oh yeah!
I’ll cross the boundary from here to there

Pull my strings some more
Raise my fever, drain my soul until it’s sore
Let me climb inside
Tear my walls down
Make it so I can’t hide
Oh hide from you

Pull my strings some more…

Oh hide from you
Oh hide from you
Oh hide from you
