Almost A Stranger

(album: Afterthoughts - 2023)

Is it alright to be myself again?
Can I finally be myself again?
I don't need a reason to find
I'm beginning to feel myself again
I'm leaving the memory behind
So I can finally be myself again
Auf Wiedersehen, I'll see you later, some better day

Cards on the table
Vanity off to the side
Always been able
To get myself back to a stride
Time's an eraser
A reverie speaks for itself
Sign your own waiver
And you'll never be somebody else
You'll never be somebody else

Is it alright to be myself again?
Can I finally be myself again?
I don't need a reason to find
I'm beginning to feel myself again
I'm leaving the memory behind
So I can finally be myself again
Auf Wiedersehen, I'll see you later, some better day

Almost a stranger
And even to those that I know
I'm the remainder
Of memories thrown to the cold
Life is too painful
When honesty comes at a price
And lies are non-fatal
Unless they're the four-letter kind
Unless they're the four-letter kind
