Unfamiliar Hometown Lonely Song - The Locals

I came into this world an unmarked page But I've stained the paper with lines that I cannot erase Discarded my identity A fragment of what I used to be An iron mind in paper walls Is not a stable foundation in this ongoing storm And now these hands of stone have eroded (eroded) Collapsed again I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way) Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me) No retribution, no compromise Selfishly self-immolating inside Burn, burn me alive, I've seen the other side Burn me, set me alight I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way) Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me) Takes a part of me I can't deny this feeling, I can't ignore the pain Of knowing I am human, and we all feel the fucking same We're all born to feel this way So I ask myself Is the measure of a man, his character, his worth Contained by what his heart holds or contained within his works? My motivations have never strayed But somewhere I think they were buried along the way I see a stranger's face staring in the mirror Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way (lost along the way) Caught in an empty space, I never thought I'd be here Each day I feel it take a part of me (take a part of me) I've seen the other side
