[00:21.825]Look at this picture of my college friends, thinking will I ever see this time again?
[00:26.318]Simple life, back when it was all so promising
[00:29.270]Now my cell phone is getting cobwebs
[00:31.308]No longer relate, because they speak another dialect
[00:34.103]Drink a little scotch for the demons, hoping maybe it can fight em off
[00:37.603]Exorcise (exercise) em on the track, runnin thru the writer’s block
[00:40.738]Seem like my faith in humanity’s been replaced
[00:43.324]With cynicism, lately my sanity isn’t safe
[00:46.093]Oh lord, hey look a stranger’s in the mirror
[00:48.862]I’m nothing like I used to look, this pain is unfamiliar
[00:51.735]Obsession, cuz I see a vision others prolly can’t
[00:54.504]I feel it in my blood, but I hope it’s not in vein (vain)
[00:57.665]Nah nah, now all I see is strangers
[01:00.565]Mama taught me, never talk to em, see the dangers
[01:03.334]Never open up, build a wall, never take it down
[01:06.155]Maybe I just wanna see who cares enough to break it down
[01:10.282]Strangers alone, strangers at home
[01:16.082]Caught between love and hate, can you hear my call?
[01:21.646]Can you hear my call, can you hear my call
[01:28.568]My call, my call
[01:33.584]Does no one understand this? I guess I speak a foreign language
[01:38.886]I took a look at what was family
[01:42.204]All I saw was strangers
[01:48.238]All full of strangers
[02:18.331]Nouveau
[02:18.958]Don’t take it personal, it’s human nature
[02:21.022]You see your dreams severely shot, they call that euthanasia
[02:23.765]My lesser equals, acquaintances of a different cloth
[02:26.586]Degrade themselves on the daily, I took a different course
[02:29.486]And put my heart thru this fire for my desire
[02:31.889]And I swear I’ll never burn out, like my peers that never turned out
[02:34.893]To be kings, only jesters, couldn’t bring it under pressure
[02:37.505]So they piggyback their brother, benefit from his successes
[02:40.588]Taste the venom on my tongue, so bitter
[02:42.364]Look in the mirror, then reflect on how I’m slowly disappearing
[02:45.734]And the one thing that I know is that I really know nuthin
[02:48.451]I’m waitin for this relationship with my dream to go public
[02:51.220]For now, I’m socially awkward, forgot how to be human, where’s my decency
[02:54.955]I’m lyin to myself so how the **** can you believe in me?
[02:57.828]I lost my savings, no register, you can’t change him
[03:00.833]No emotional return when you invested in a stranger
[03:04.673]Strangers alone, strangers at home
[03:10.550]Caught between love and hate, can you hear my call?
[03:16.166]Can you hear my call, can you hear my call
[03:23.037]My call, my call
[03:48.532]I fear the best days behind me, not sayin I’m suicidal
[03:51.615]But Voli continues to try to kill himself on the vinyl
[03:54.331]I’m prolly a model for what not to do with your life
[03:56.865]I’m isolated, no room for no god or satan
[03:59.216]I got my own religion, I’m godforsaken
[04:01.175]Pushin to get my **** out, I’m constipated
[04:03.579]I’m out of use, can you feel me? Be my masseuse
[04:06.531]Massage me, life is a *****, so misogyny is my truth
[04:09.326]Move through the shadows, my girl is looking for light
[04:12.382]And she’s dealing with her condition, she’s used to a losing battle, ****
[04:15.491]We both obsessive, her OCD is a blessing
[04:18.129]Funny what makes us lonely’s the **** that holds us together
[04:21.028]We try to sleep through the failure, can’t propose to her till I become the man
[04:25.809]And I can’t settle for no city hall marriage, girl, I hope ya understand
[04:29.988]Just tell the priest that I sold my soul to the devil
[04:32.470]And I hope to give him change, after that we’ll hold a wedding
[04:35.187]But my side of the aisle’ll be vacant, the life of a stranger
[04:38.557]Nobody knows him, will his grave title be nameless?
[04:40.934]Hold me, as I sit and look for the old me
[04:43.285]In 50 years, will I be considered the biggest regret of the old me?
