Soft like a rose cloaked in daggers
Your grin a guise for all the anger
I'm sorry you felt that you needed to hide
The difference inside you
You know I'm filthy
Shut up and listen
Why don't you give up this mission?
Shut up and look at me
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think you knew me

You crept up on me
Like cat on a mouse
Light on the feet
And loose in the mouth
You waited until you saw me go still
The moment you break me
I'll say it simply
Shut up and listen
Why don't you give up this mission?
Shut up and look at me
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think you knew me
Words on the tip of my tongue
Taking aim, cocked back just for fun
I am not your prodigal son
Shut up and listen
Why don't you give up this mission?
Shut up and look at me
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think you knew me
