The Stranger in Our Pictures - Hail the Sun

Tension flowing through my veins and I can feel it

I want to cut it out so I can see it

But that’s the way I always know, even now, this uncertainty soon will pass

Hours spent inside the room that got me sober

Praying the dopamine would find me sooner

But that’s the gash I had to sew

On this road

I just have to own where it goes

Soft manipulating hot and cold

Kept my family waiting long enough

Careless and self centered ways I behaved stained our home

I found a photograph my father took of someone I don’t know

I don’t recognize

Lovers, and everyone who fought for me to beat it

How could I commit when I didn’t feel it?

I wish that I could give you back stolen time

Maybe in the end you’ll get mine

I’d kill the light, when everyone was home

I didn’t want them to know where I was

Alive at night

I snuck around to be the very thing you tried preventing

Maybe in the end I’ll give it back

Maybe in the end you’ll get it back

You’ll get it back

Soft manipulating hot and cold

Kept my family waiting long enough

I don’t know…

Careless and self-centered ways I behaved stained our home

I found a photograph my brother took of someone I don’t know

I don’t recognize anymore
