Stranger Parade

Lost in the pull of the tide Drifting alone, no guide Sensors blur in the endless stream Hands reach out but miss the scene I paint my smile on borrowed skin Chasing shadows where I've been cold Call but fade to grey, to grey Stranger in my old parade Walls closing, breath held tight No anchor in this endless night Alienated, torn a beating heart In an empty, screaming silence To the storm never belonging Never warm, cut adrift on waves of doubt This isoing out Streetlights mock my hollow stride Reflections lie, they turn aside Friends like ghosts in hollow halls Echoes of laughs that never fall I build my world from shattered glass But every piece just slips right past Pressure builds the fracture line Craving touch that's never mine Alienated, torn a beating heart In an empty, screaming silence To the storm never belonging Never warm, cut adrift on waves of doubt This isoing out This isoing out This isoing out What if I shatter the disguise? Burn the bridges, flame the skies Steal the force beyond Thunder, thunder in my chest No wonder, one more step into the black No turning from the attack Alienated, torn a beating heart In an empty, screaming silence To the storm never belonging To the storm never belonging Never warm, cut adrift on waves of doubt To the storm never belonging Fighting out Fighting out Fighting out Fighting out Fighting out Drifting alone Drifting alone Drifting alone Drifting alone Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay Here to stay
