Strangers

And I've been wandering The sun-kissed avenues. To find the pieces And the clues I left behind. These steps I'll retrace Until I can read the signs. I'm back here again, I'm back here again. And I, I can feel myself go numb. As the faces melt away And the strangers take their place. I can't go down this road again. Where the ones I love Will slowly fade away. (Fade away…) I'm back here again, I'm back here again. So I'll keep wandering Through sharp-edged realties. That I've chosen through distraction To avoid the poignant matters. And that path of least resistance Is killing me. And now I see… (I'm back here again) Now I see… (I'm back here again) And I, I can feel myself go numb. As the faces melt away And the strangers take their place. I can't go down this road again. Where the ones I love Will slowly fade And I just need to get out of the place. Oh I need to get away, Let me leave and start again, A blank slate… But the pieces have no place In this cruel and twisted game. I play to find some answers In a bid to see a change. But I won't entertain, I won't dance with your shadow Another day. And I'll be okay, I'll be okay.
