Verse 1: SoulSeeker
On a cold day like this, I wear a scarf around my neck,
hiding the marks that were carved in there to end
art, mend scars that I left before my
brain imploded, showing hardly any scratch outside the
face of time, I raced my mind to finish,
but forgot to create the line, though I wasn't winning.
I am the loop. I am the loop. You tried to kick me out of my
house, though I doubt you can change what's mine. See,
I never hide me, I just don't show you. Dust on
social aspects. I put most in caskets. Never
had an account, they never froze my assets.
Dissolved in the rain before I rose from ashes. Closed the
chapters -rejected- got left with an open ending.
Wrote a letter to my hope with feathers, through
newspaper cutouts: they might know they met me. See, my
own handwriting might show affection of the
past. I used to wonder how long all this
lasts. Reasons for being I often don't grasp. I feel
estranged from myself and all these pages I've helped. See no
signs of my footprints in the songs that I craft. The
monsters have laughed and now they left, leaving a
trail of insecurities right under my bed. Don't lose
comfort, instead, I stretch my courage to the edge, and catch a
glimpse of the self-assigned hunt on my head.

[Perfect Stranger]
[Intro: Dizzee Rascal sample]
Looks like I'm losing friends. Looks like I'm losing mates.
[Verse 1: SoulSeeker]
I was true to faith. I
couldn't play dumb. They were too cool to play. I was
bruised with hate. They wouldn't move away. Now I'm
losing mates, I'm not that good with gates, I guess. We
play the best of the games we test. Proceed to
call them god, but the same aspect. Could be
gone, forever lost in a fading breath.
Friendship is a strange concept. That
I could never grasp, I never got that. I would
rather be alone, than check out pop tracks. So I
was, and I was fine with it, cause my
mind was lit, and I would hide in this. I was
bullied. I was smacked. I never mocked back, or got
mad, but then I met [the perfect stranger]. Was
confused, thought I'd lose all I shot at. If I
lose myself, then what's left? What's left?

[Chorus: SoulSeeker ]
Let me dream. Fall
awake in a world that ain't as real as it ever seemed.
Let my brain. Create
order in myself as I wake up in my bed and scream.
[Verse 2: SoulSeeker]
I wanna sleep, no regaining my consciousness,
escaping the government, but mainly the ominously
present modern ways where they conquer us. I'll
get out of here. And recreate how I wanted it.
Unconsciously explore the regions of memory, while
seemingly happily I'm dreaming so lavishly.
Inside my brain I'm screening what's happening; I
feel that my control is still increasingly vanishing.
I'm lost now. Don't remember the image. It's an
unfamiliar construct; I question the witnessed, but no
answer is given. There's more red in this picture, than I
ever envisioned. I am the imprisoned.
Dreams took over the mind that I thought to be
mine but I lost it when I went to cross all these
lines. Now please forgive me for my synapse,
it's time to be drowning in my timelapse. See ya!
