A Stranger

The more you fight,
The more you fall;
All of your failure 
Reinforces your wall
Without these wings
You'll lose your will
Without this warning,
You'll pop the pill…

A world of another color
Feeds like a cancer
Sitting alone in the corner
You'll find an answer
A grim loss of another
Blinds eyes with anger
Ever building anguish
Leaves you a stranger…

The first and final hope
Offers you a hand
Thoughts in your head
The last remaining stand
The eyes of a stranger
Leaves the moment still
Once the pain stops,
Then begins the thrill.
