The Stranger

So close but yet so far
Prodigal son, you shine just like a star
But as you know
The light that burns twice as bright
Burns half as long, right

That's just the way it is

And you wish if you could change
Turn back the time
But the grip of addiction is o' so tight
A reflection of northern overkill

Endless search for continuous thrill

Staring out over the bridge
Into the water deep down below
Cannot find any rhyme or reason
To go on
It makes you suffer, it makes you cry
You don't know who you are
The Stranger
Now servant on the other side
Personality never identified

Well I don't have to be back
Just see the shadows fall
Like a breath of a dying god
No more things to say
Take me home

Staring out over the bridge
Into the water deep down below
Cannot find any rhyme or reason
To go on
It makes you suffer, it makes you cry
You don't know who you are
The Stranger
Now servant on the other side
Personality never identified
