Dear Stranger

Sweet mother, kept me forever
Alone and safe in a room
Why would I ask for anything other
Your world is all that I ever knew
Her hands pulling me closer
Her eyes all heavy and cold
Ohh ohh, she said I keep you from danger
Ohh ohh, I’m your careful protector
All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside, leaving with nothing
Under the surface, I am a stranger
What else to become
No one else to become
The last time, you tell me it simple
I keep it in the back of my mind
Ohh ohh, she said now don’t be a stranger
Ohh ohh, just keep your head on your shoulders
All of these voices are making me nervous
Follow them outside, leaving with nothing
Under the surface, I am a stranger
What else to become
No one else to become
