Emily Desmond - Strangers

I woke from a dream
To hiatus and debris
And six swords set aflame that I can't explain
And the wind it screeched
As if reality was skating figure eights
On the glass of my window pane

Gripping the scripture, stripping the pictures
Collapsing on the floor, lapsing with the world
I'm burdened by the thought
That everything is my fault
I'm the corpse of the girl you once adored

And I wish I didn't crave your touch
Or see your face so much
In these streets
Or hear you whisper in my ear
As I lay here praying for sleep
Because like a doll of porcelain
I sat and watched you change
And now I wish that we were strangers
But then again, we are

I struck all my matches, don't you see the calluses?
From the friction on my skin, reigniting in the wind
Reverie is a mirage and loneliness is sabotage
But I can't help the sore chagrin
You ruined everything

I wish I didn't crave your touch
Or see your face so much
In these streets
Or hear you whisper in my ear
As I lay here praying for sleep
Because like a doll of porcelain
I sat and watched you change
And now I wish that we were strangers

Cause I'm going insane
I hate the sound of your name
It's like bitter venom
Just sitting on my tongue
I don't want to love again
Cause this song was never meant to be sung
And I wish I didn't crave your touch or see your face so much
In these streets
Or hear you whisper in my ear
As I lay here praying for sleep because like a doll of porcelain
I sat and watched you change and now I wish that we were strangers but then again, we are
We are strangers.
