Stranger than your sympathy
I refuse to take this passively
Ive been looking around and inside-out
Nothings here and not a sound
Tapestry a familiar melody
But I'm not sure where I can find
A piece mind and sanity
I've dug myself out and screamed out loud
I've been looking around and inside out
Nothing is here and there's no sound
Stranger than your sympathy
I'm sorry for your precious loss
But I'm still here while you've been gone
So many years have gone so wrong
And I don't know where I should go
With two roads ahead there is no home

So stranger than your sympathy I've found out that I was wrong and you're not here to hear it all
And I'm not sure where I belong
You let me know when I come home
I'll share what I read and you can speak on it
But even then I'll never be sure of what it was or what it's been
I've been ripping myself from the inside out
You're not here and it's all wrong
I've dug myself out and screamed out loud
I've been looking around and inside out
Nothing is here and there's no sound
Maybe not now but years from now
Stranger than your sympathy
Years later you'll be around
And I'll be there to guide you up
Cause I'll be home and you'll be close
