Imaginary Strangers

from Why Do You Hate Me With Your Love? by Nilo Crow

/

lyrics

A road unknown, a place called home, we`re strangers, imaginary strangers,
A teardrop is what changes, shuts doors forever close.
Three steps out of a window, five words from the Unknown
Make you fly just for a breath to a place you once called home.
What’s strange is that we stay here,
What’s strange can open doors.
A ticking clock’s a time bomb, don’t force me to scribe more.

Imaginary strangers, invisible lies on temporary stages
Constrain.
We are strangers, we stray around edges, are chained inside cages.

What could have been still changes worlds – but that’s just words,
Image, imagine thoughts contagious, quick spoken but withdrawn,
I doubt your whispers faithful friend, I cheered your words, believed in them.
But words are wind and so are friends
An so we still stay strangers.
And so we still stay
Stay strangers.

Strangers, imaginary strangers, invisible lies on temporary stages
Constrain.
We are strangers, we stray around edges, are chained inside cages.

Imaginary strangers, imaginary friends,
Imagine all those strange things, imagine, love can still betray.
Imagine thieves steal dreams – you’ll never dream again.
Believed in them, believe again, believe in

Strangers, imaginary strangers, invisible lies on temporary stages
Constrain.
We are strangers, we stray around edges, are chained inside cages.
Strangers, still we are strange. Chasing our signs, escaping our failures.
Still we are strangers, still we are strange,
Imagine how strange it’s to stay ordinary strangers
To stay imaginary strangers.

"Where were you when the Thunder came, the everlasting storm? And when they disappeared again, this nothingness was born.
Your days are dark, your nights are bright – but mine they are both grey."
And so a man walks down the road, with nothing on his mind.
"So who are you?" – and he replies: "I told you, I don't know. I've lost my voice, I've dropped my words, the melody of rain." ... more
