The Stranger

from No Surf Just Death by Quit Life

lyrics

It's 4AM as I make my way
Across Bleecker and Sullivan
Lipstick on my face, Vomit on my shirt
Wait for the train, Snow begins to fall
As the night starts to hurt

I hate the winter and the cold
I hate myself more than you'd ever know
I'm the stranger in your bed
As you wonder "why'd I go home with him"

That cross dripping from your neck is driving me crazy
Your convictions hanging between your chest don't mean a thing
I know exactly what you want
A position with a view to the ceiling of my room
Excuse me for being rude
I'm just not myself
Left in that basement collecting dust on a shelf
I'm just not myself
Excuse me for being myself

I hate the winter and the cold
I hate myself more than you'd ever know
I'm the stranger in your bed
As you wonder "why'd I go home with him"

I'm surrounded by artists and intellectuals
And I can't take one more minute of their bullshit
Hiding in cafes and dives
Acting out their folk tale lives
Busy with the outside while I'm looking in
I can see all of your illusions
Trap door in the floor, Card up your sleeve
All of it means nothing
Now watch me disappear

I hate the winter and the cold
I hate myself more than you'd ever know
I'm the stranger in your bed
As you wonder "why'd I go home with him"
It's ok because I'm thinking the same fucking thing
Sometimes we do things to hurt ourselves
Sometimes we look in the mirror and don't like what we see
Sometimes we find it hard to exist
Sometimes it's hard to exist
I find it hard to exist
Hard to exist
Exist
Exist
