Hail the Sun
The Stranger in Our Pictures (Reimagined)
[Verse]
Tension flowing through my veins and I can feel it
I want to cut it out so I can see it
But that’s the way I always know
Even now, this uncertainty soon will pass
Hours spent inside the room that got me sober
Praying the dopamine would find me sooner
But that’s the gash I had to sew on this road
I just have to own where it goes
[Chorus]
Soft manipulating, hot and cold
Kept my family waiting long enough
Careless and self centered ways I behaved stained our home
I found a photograph my father took of someone I don’t know
I don’t recognize
[Verse]
Lovers, and everyone who fought for me to beat it
How could I commit when I didn’t feel it?
I wish that I could give you back stolen time
Maybe in the end, you’ll get mine
[Bridge]
I'd kill the light when everyone was home
I didn't want them to know where I was
Alive at night
I snuck around to be the very thing you tried preventing
Maybe in the end, I’ll give it back
Maybe in the end, you’ll get it back
You’ll get it back
[Chorus]
Soft manipulating hot and cold
Kept my family waiting long enough
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
Careless and self-centered ways I behaved stained our home
Found a photograph my brother took of someone I don’t know
I don’t recognize anymore
