Unfamiliar
(专辑: The Guilt & The Grief - 2016)
I
came into this world an unmarked page But I've stained the
paper with lines that I
cannot erase Discarded my identity A
fragment of what I
used to be An iron mind in paper walls Is not a
stable foundation in this ongoing storm And now these hands of stone have eroded, collapsed again I
see a
stranger's face staring in the
mirror Who I
was, was somewhere lost along the
way Caught in an empty space, I
never thought I'd be here Each day I
feel it take a
part of me No retribution. No compromise Selfishly self-immolating inside Burn, burn me alive. I've seen the
other side Burn me, set me alight I
see a
stranger's face staring in the
mirror Who I
was, was somewhere lost along the
way Caught in an empty space, I
never thought I'd be here Each day I
feel it take a
part of me I
can't deny this feeling, I
can't ignore the
pain Of knowing I
am human, and we all feel the
fucking same We're all born to feel this way And so I
ask myself Is the
measure of a
man, his character, his worth Contained by what his heart holds or contained within his works? My motivations have never strayed But somewhere I
think they were buried along the
way I
see a
stranger's face staring in the
mirror Who I
was, was somewhere lost along the
way Caught in an empty space, I
never thought I'd be here Each day I
feel it take a
part of me I've seen the
other side
