lyrics
Soft like a rose, cloaked in daggers
Your grin a guise for all the anger
I'm sorry you thought that you needed to hide
The dirt from inside me
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 a cat on a mouse
Light on the feet, and loose in the mouth
You waited until you saw me go still
The moment to 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
No, I am not your prodigal son
Just 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
Your grin a guise for all the anger
I'm sorry you thought that you needed to hide
The dirt from inside me
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 a cat on a mouse
Light on the feet, and loose in the mouth
You waited until you saw me go still
The moment to 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
No, I am not your prodigal son
Just 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

INTO THE ABYSS
by DANCE WITH THE DEADsupported by 14 fans who also own “Stranger”
This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven.
