STRANGER.EXE

Everything's shaking. The earth, the house, me.

Oh, you see decay and ruin
I tell you, no, no, no, no
You make such an exquisite corpse

I'M GLAD IF I DON'T SEE YOU

And meanwhile everything is so small
Compared to my heart's desire.

I love you.

Please, I'll say anything. I love you. See, I said it. I said it just for you.

Are you even listening?

There are things in me that won't stop crying.

The loneliness became more and more unbearable. I ached to be touched. I feared I was disappearing and I'd cease to exist if someone didn't touch me.

But you are an artist
And your mind don’t work the way you want it to

I'll always be with you as your lifetime regret
Q. What is the most important thing?
A. That thing which you have just lost.

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

I hate you more than I miss you
That's not true, I'd hate to miss you
Anywhere I go anywhere you've been before
I get the chance to say goodbye

I'm not the sea, I'm not pure blue, I don't have to take anything you throw into me.

Gone are the days of laughter and love
Gone, baby, gone, we've all had enough

I am not talking about fate. I don't believe in destiny or soul mates or the supernatural. I just mean we understood each other. All the way.

Are you healed or do you only think you're healed?

WHY DID YOU THINK IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME?

THE SURVIVAL DRIVE IS A SICK ONE. HERE IS WHAT WILL KILL YOU. HERE IS HOW YOU LOVE IT.

And the sweet, sweet sun's comin' down hard
The sun's comin' down hard, it burns the bones
So hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

The memories of losing you, you're like a ghost
Tracing where I said to you

can I suffer? I won't make a sound

Broken record on the stereo
Shattered glass from a past I can't let go

Perhaps you are haunting me.
What a comforting thought.
Maybe it's you in the darkness.
I swear I've seen it move.

This will last forever
And when it doesn't, love it for what it is
Don't miss it the way I do
The way I used to

See how tame I can be?
In the reflection, I watch myself watching TV
And it's too much to take and so I say to myself
I never told you that I loved you cause I don't.

Whenever I fall asleep
I keep on having the same damn dreams
I know you heard this already
But I don't ever want you to leave
I thought you didn't even like to leave

Was I ever good enough for you?
There's always someone
I'm tryna live up to
I can never get to you
You always seem closer in the rearview

Not for nothing, but an apology would have been nice or at the least would have conveyed some modicum of respect.

Do you know that one day I'll kill you? I won't do it because I'm no longer in love with you, or because I'm jealous, but -- I'll just kill you for no better reason than I sometimes long to devour you.

The touch was soft, but the hand was dangerous.

Here you are in the straw house, feeding the straw dog. Here you are in the wrong house, feeding the wrong dog.
