Benighted Soul Stranger Me
The girl they’re talking about
She can’t be me, she’s someone else
And the distance between me and her
It hurts me so bad
Straight through my heart, straight to the core
As if I were never prepared for it
Deep inside you know it is true
Some have to live, some have to die.
Deep inside a voice reminds you
That you’re not part of the chosen ones.
Will you give up for a few ones?
They don’t know what they’re talking about
Will you stand up when it gets rough
And take the chance to be someone else?
Look at this child in the picture
I’ve never fit within the frame
Cos’ this place has become too vast too soon
For the soul that still belongs to the little girl
And that is not strong enough to fill this body.
How can I be the one I’ve seen in your eyes
I hate the way she is, she’s a stranger to me
I cannot recognize this face full of lies
How can I bring myself to tame this stranger me?
