I thought that I would be alright just start writing and the words would come
I thought that I would find you in the early morning
I thought I could find you late at night
I thought I heard an invitation to the waiting, just when I had to leave
I thought I saw your naked body dripping seeds of violence from your finger tips
Children at your feet
I thought I saw you surrender
I thought I saw the fear in your eyes
That’s when I knew you knew I’d lost my faith
 
I thought I heard you say it’s everyone’s right to live and to die without ever saying why
I thought I’d found your secret place
But we were never alone
Strangers and demons followed you home
I thought I could love you long enough; Strong enough
I thought I could make you bow
I thought I could make you love me
I thought I felt your heart move but when I looked into your face
That’s when I knew you knew I was out of place
 
I thought the moment couldn’t hold me that forever couldn’t kill me
I thought the lament was for existence
I thought that you had come to save me
I thought you’d come to ease my tortured mind
I thought that you were the savior but I turned and looked as I was walking away
That’s when I knew you knew I was the stranger.
