Queensryche – “Eyes of A Stranger”

 

All alone now

Except for the memories

Of what we had and what we knew

Everytime I try to leave it behind me

I see something that reminds me of you

Every night the dreams return to haunt me

Your rosary wrapped around your throat

I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep

I see your face looking back at me

 

CHORUS

And I raise my head and stare

Into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

People always turn away

From the eyes of a stranger

Afraid to know what

Lies behind the stare

 

Is this all that's left

Of my life before me

Straight-jacket memories, sedative highs

No happy ending like they've always promised

There's got to be something left for me

 

CHORUS

 

How many times must I live this tragedy

How many more lies will they tell me

All I want is the same as everyone

Why am I here, and for how long

 

CHORUS
