Stranger of Winter - Arthur Byron

Suspicious in bright light, Too much red rim around the white, Cheap silk that wraps the body tight, And one by one, seconds drip by There's nothing they can do to her, That hasn't been done before, Bit it's sweet they try. Not a single tree in sight, Fluorescents strip the skin bone dry, Pock marks fill and shadows fight There's nothing they can do to her, That hasn't been done before, But it's sweet they try, But it's sweet they try. One heel is broken, Her hands do shake, And ranting is her speech, Wrong is always on the way, It makes you watch her, With all your thoughts deranged, The challenge is to put her last, Humility to shame, There's something in the stare though, It's not for sure she's there, Dirty strands to veil the face, Small tattoos named big mistakes, She whispers when she talks, Strangling bottles of escape, Violent sympathy, white rage, Violent sympathy white rage Hold on tight and start to squeeze, Blank expression in degrees This is not at all your best, Try your hardest do your worst, Try your hardest do your worst, This is not at all your best, Hold on tight and start to squeeze, Blank expression in degrees. Suspicious in bright light, Too much red rim around white, Cheap silk that wraps the body tight, And one by one, seconds drip by There's nothing they can do to her, That hasn't been done before, But it's sweet they try. Belted to the waist, On stilts of trembling, The locket hinge digs in, Like marks of teeth on skin, The memory half dust, Just shapes of fading rust, That moves when she's alone, And speaks to no one home.

I never thought that I would find out We were just lovers in the dark You've known someone for a long time But you never really know who they are It feels like it was only last week I was tripping right into your heart If we're not gonna do this honestly Baby, won't ya give me back what you took apart When I was on my knees in the darkness Yeah, you'd be there to break my fall But now I'm lying here so helpless But somehow I just still want more You left me with nothing Now I'm lying in the arms of a stranger But why do I think of you? You left me with nothing Now I'm looking in the eyes of a stranger Just tryna get over you Yeah, you left me with nothing I chase an old love just to feel love But it gave me nothing that was real No matter what I give, it's not enough But I guess I'm holding on to you still When I was on my knees in the darkness Yeah, you'd be there to break my fall But now I'm lying here so helpless And somehow I just still want more You left me with nothing Now I'm lying in the arms of a stranger But why do I think of you? You left me with nothing Now I'm looking in the eyes of a stranger Just tryna get over you Yeah, you left me with nothing Standing out in the crowd Nobody can hear me now I'm tryna get over you Standing out in the crowd If only you could see me now I'm tryna get over you You left me with nothing And now I'm lying in the arms of a stranger Why do I think of you? You left me with nothing And now I'm looking in the eyes of a stranger Just tryna get over you Yeah, you left me with nothing You left me with nothing Yeah, you left me with nothing And now I'm looking in the eyes of a stranger Just tryna get over you Yeah, you left me with nothing You left me with nothing

I came from Düsseldorf, chased by the night You were a vision drenched, in neon light Longing and my sad eyes caught, your fleeting glance As chaos on the boulevard, stole our romance Barf into a toilet, full of the stranger's diarrhea Barf into a toilet, full of the stranger's diarrhea La connexion... lost Two, ships, passing in the night You, shit, then I ralphed up my fries But not just any old fries But French, fries, Paris Whispers in foreign tongues, from the shadows Lead to a path of lies, my false hope chose Fooled again and yet I search, forever more My love will last 1, 000 years, like this cold war Barf into a toilet, full of the stranger's diarrhea Barf into a toilet, full of the stranger's diarrhea La connexion... lost Diarrhea, diarrhea Some people think it's gross, but it's really good on toast Diarrhea, diarrhea Some people think it's funny, but it's brown and hot and runny Shhhh She said Shhhh Barf into a toilet, full of the stranger's diarrhea Barf into a toilet, full of the stranger's diarrhea Hausgemachter Toilettensalat Think of the future we lost, the life we will never know Winter reminds me of you, as does a Sloppy Joe (Barf into a toilet) Think of the future we lost (Barf into a toilet) The life we will never know (Barf into a toilet) Winter reminds me of you (Full of the stranger's diarrhea) Two ships, passing in the night You shit, then ralphed up my fries Two ships, passing in the night You shit.
