Strange
Holy Esque Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In love - a danger remains
My nightmare unchanged

If something is real
Then chance stomps it's heel

The scowl of my heart
Take me back to the start

When thing's weren't so strange
Oh I cried

Cried, cried, cried
Cried, cried, cried

In hate - a feeling exists
You're trapped don't resist

The cage stabs and screams
But your light won't be seen

Consumed by the shock
Of yesterday's thoughts

Shaking for more
Oh I cried

Cried, cried, cried
Cried, cried, cried

Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange

Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange

Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange

Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last





Strange, strange, strange
