Stranger

(album: Shame, Shame - 2010)

20 years of schooling
I just never learned the math
That one and one don't equal two
They often equal half

I have tried to live the high life
The best that I know how
And I bought my share of debonair
And parlayed it on the crowd

I do believe that there's no more tricks up my sleeve
The good old days have past and the good times after that
And slowly I've become undone
A stranger with a stranger heart

Well I plan to hit the bottom
The bottle then the top
And I pray that something quits me
Before I gotta stop

Cause the masquerade is over
But I was barely there
The mask come off the gilded cloth
Yet I'm just barely there

I do believe that there's no more tricks up my sleeve
The good old days have past and the good times after that
And slowly I've become undone
A stranger with a stranger heart
