Onyx Lyrics by Odette

To a Stranger

2018

[Verse 1]
Crystal clear, I saw you leave
I saw you lie, I'm undermining you
Brown bulls won't hide my fears
Blood stained sunshine comes with a price

Now strike down your fist
Climb the gates to the opener
It's hard to make you see
When you are oh so blind , don't worry

[Chorus 1]
There's no time to cry
You wanna see a world without pain
Take a swim in the river
We could fly higher than high
Light headed, I know you're a sightseer
Can I see your mind, no I can't
Wanna read your mind, but I can't
I don't feel alive, but I am
Make me feel alive, I know you can

[Verse 2]
Love is a game and a way that I can't remember
Two of the same cannot stay or pretend forever
I was not told there were rules to be followed
Smallest comes last and I gotta stay hollow

Tell me that you love me, I never ask why
Mythical feelings flooding my mind
Fairytale prophecies, conditions never underlined
If it's all real sign my name on the dotted line

[Chorus 2]
There's no time to cry
You wanna see a world without pain
Take a swim in the river
We could fly higher than high
Light headed, I know you're a sightseer
Can I see your mind, no I can't
Wanna read your mind, but I can't
I don't feel alive, but I am
Make me feel alive, I know you can

[Bridge - LANKS]
[?] coming out in thick breaths
Feeling like I'm suffocating
Now I'm really tired of waiting
Midnight, coming round
Midnight, expect me to act right
Nails down a blackboard, let me out
So we, keep on with the same thing
Two different worlds world spinning
Soon we will collide, it's just a matter of
Timing, make sure it's the right thing
You won't let me break
I know you will keep me standing

There's no time to cry
You wanna see a world without pain
Take a swim in the river
We could fly higher than high
Light headed, I know you're a sightseer
Can I see your mind, no I can't
Wanna read your mind, but I can't
I don't feel alive, but I am
Make me feel alive, I know you can

There's no time to cry
You wanna see a world without pain
Take a swim in the river
We could fly higher than high
Light headed, I know you're a sightseer
Can I see your mind, no I can't
Wanna read your mind, but I can't
I don't feel alive, but I am
Make me feel alive, I know you can
