Stranger

Вступление

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

There is a stranger wearing your face around

It laughs with your tongue and it tracks your mud all through the house

There is a stranger blinking your juniper eyes

When it's sleeping, up I peel them, are you hiding somewhere inside?

[Chorus]

Let me find you

[Verse 2]

I empty the box of turnips

Where did it hide your soul?

Not with dust bunnies 'neath the furnace

Nor the drawer where broke things go

There is a stranger draped in your inside-out clothes

It scrawls on my walls phrases only the devil should know

And I cannot tame it with salt, holy water or sage

So call out to me, son, before I must dig your skin's grave

[Chorus]

Let me find you

[Verse 3]

There is a stranger

Clawing at the crack in the door

I rused it outside, but it can't hack the cold anymore

It howls through the keyhole, "If you love me, you'll let me inside"

N.C.

(If you love me, you'll let me inside)

But with its sinew-woven canines, that thing can be no son of mine

[Outro]

Bitter call of the hunting gun

Why'd you let the woods husk my son?

Body spewing tongues until dawn comes

Clutching a bundle of wisteria (ahhh)

Have I found you?

(Ooh)
