the stranger Lyrics by Housecat

some things change, others stay the same

2024

[Verse 1]
I took your ghost for a walk last night
But I lost you in the snow
Six months of isolation
Speaking with someone I don't know
I had something to say
But it was lost in thought
And someone else is sitting where
I used to have a spot
Cherry pipe tobacco
And a can of Coca-Cola
Something sweet to contrast
The bitter aroma
I thought I saw you outside my window
But it was just the smoke from [?]
And I've been staring down too much
Nihilism can make your back hurt
And I am not immune
To the forces that change her
For recently I've become
Something of a stranger

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Months spent arguing
With the stranger in my head
And only one of us can make it out
And he wants me dead
Said I wasn't good for anything
And I'd never be enough
So I became the stranger
Just to get him to shut up
