Stranger To Myself

Artist: Frank Dicksee

Stranger To Myself

Gasping for air

The waves push me down

I see you there

And still I start to drown

I fight this feeling

Yet it comes back stronger than before

My head's sent reeling

Won't you please unlock this door

I'm a stranger to myself

Wishing I was someone else

I missed the last train

And I'm left with this pain

A white rose in hand

Changes into white sand

Wishing I was someone else

I'm a stranger to myself

I'm left calling

Wondering if anyone will hear me

I seem to be falling

No one to catch me as I drop into the sea

Gasping for air

The waves push me down

I see you there

And still I start to drown

Escape is what I need

But my feet are rooted to the ground

Like a forgotten seed

My spirit will be dead when found
