kasland - stranger lyrics
[verse 1]
i feel so motivated, see, i can’t stop writing
but i can’t stop fighting
for my purpose on this surface as i work so hard to heighten
every step along my path until the words i speak enlighten
look, lately things been weighing on me
and i don’t know which way i’m falling
it was just the other night i swear my grandma came and saw me
saw me still just standing still and said
now we’re not waiting, are we?
yup, see i grew up an only child
and now i’m running out of friends, i’ve been lonely for a while
i became a nervous wreck when out in public and i suck at
making conversation, so i hide from people, never smile
and i never sleep at night and eat unhealthy, never question
why i isolate myself, it’s like i never learn my lesson
i guess i do it for protection
i guess i fear my own reflection
[chorus]
stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
i know deep inside i’ve got the strength to find
i’m a stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
myself in this darkness, i just need some time
who is this stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
i’m not looking for the answers, just some peace of mind
i’m a stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
destroy the stranger in the mirror and let me survive
[verse 2]
i reminisce on when i started and all that i have written
all the confidence i had and standing tall, i hate just sitting
but i’ve been making up excuses just to compensate the villain
cause i’m coping with the fact
that i’ve been contemplating quitting
and it’s been a long ride, good and bad times, at times
i felt like i was king of the world, but then i had times
that all i felt was was guilt and it built up and bad vibes
kept me in a slump so deep, i couldn’t even pad rhymes
i swear i’ve told so many lies
it’s like i wake up every morning just to put on a disguise
the only time i see the truth is when i dare to close my eyes
but then it scares me half to death
so i’m just restless through the nights
i can’t sleep without the aid of medication, i’m still facing
the fact that i could fall at any time and any pace and
i tried to stop the clock, i broke it’s hands, but i’m still aging
so there’s nothing i can do but grip the pen and flip the page then
[chorus]
stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
i know deep inside i’ve got the strength to find
i’m a stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
myself in this darkness, i just need some time
who is this stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
i’m not looking for the answers, just some peace of mind
i’m a stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
destroy the stranger in the mirror and let me survive
[verse 3]
i put a gun to my head, but couldn’t pull the trigger
held a razor to my wrists, but didn’t have that in me either
so i balled up a fist, stared down the man in the mirror
and started beating his ass for being the one that put me here i
can’t stand what i’ve done to myself
and now my hands are bl++dy
looking at my broken image, oh yeah, you’re handsome, buddy
screaming at the mirror out of anger while you’re plans are running
out the door and now the floor
is sinking while you’re standing on it
i should give up and hum and mumble
see i tried to warn myself, but all i heard was mumbo jumbo
was so arrogant and wearing it like i’m not one to fumble
now i’m trying to comprehend why my asylum’s become a jungle
sh+t, now i’m caving, and why?
because i waited and i waited as the days would go by
so if you’re waiting for your moment then start saying goodbye
cause if you’re waiting to live then you’re just waiting to die
[chorus]
stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
i know deep inside i’ve got the strength to find
i’m a stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
myself in this darkness, i just need some time
who is this stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
i’m not looking for the answers, just some peace of mind
i’m a stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
destroy the stranger in the mirror and let me survive
