about

Strangers is a new single off the up and coming EP, "Talksick." It is about the point in a relationship with a friend or loved one that goes sour. Both of the verses are from two different points of view.

lyrics

I smell a scent of strangeness
Strangers haunting within a ghost embedded in my brain,
I'm driven insane and yeah I lost her...
But have I lost it
I'll take that as a 50 fucking toss up to the cosmos
An infection of stress, with reactions digressed
Their laws were making you falter yet
Your faultless as they called out your name
Take a seat on center stage as they open your veins (just breathe) [aHa]
Turn your icy breath to steam,
Lo creas cuando te miras, please
I've seen you in pieces but peace nonetheless
Battered then broken, relaxed then suppressed.

And when the strangers call (Oh oh oh)
[Just breathe]
You know your time has come (Oh oh oh)
It goes to dial tone (Oh oh oh)
[Just breathe]
You know your card was drawn upon

Oh, just breathe, just breathe
You will never fear the call from the enemy
Oh, just breathe, just breathe
You will never fear the call from the enemy

She had to take the glass as given, half full and never fill it up
I said you've had enough, It's a hunger for blood but thirst for love, it never stops.
Topping tough times off with a topic trudge.
Tussle through the thoughts of the talk sick touch
In downhill relations, your down is crushed.
The Up was over rushed.
I tricked you for your treats now your time is up
I said stop, [stop!!] looking to the mirror for fear of noticing I've been seen a lil clearer.
This isn't who you thought I would be with a stranger heart that wouldn't let you speak free..
So shut up and just breathe

And when the strangers call (Oh oh oh)
[Just breathe]
You know your time has come (Oh oh oh)
It goes to dial tone (Oh oh oh)
[Just breathe]
You know your card was drawn upon

Oh, just breathe, just breathe
You will never fear the call from the enemy
Oh, just breathe, just breathe
You will never fear the call from the enemy

Am I there yet pushing for the wake,
Looking for awareness, hoping for a break
Am I there yet pushing for the wake,
Looking for awareness, hoping for a break
[Tell Me]
I pedal the pedals to better develop the dream
I pedal the pedals to better develop the dream
I pedal the pedals to better develop the dream
A rebel potential is penitential in belief
(Just breathe)

And when the strangers call (Oh oh oh)
[Just breathe]
You know your time has come (Oh oh oh)
It goes to dial tone (Oh oh oh)
[Just breathe]
You know your card was drawn upon

Oh, just breathe, just breathe
You will never fear the call from the enemy
Oh, just breathe, just breathe
You will never fear the call from the enemy
