about

Strange is a venture into the crazy world inside our heads and the realization that it is a good thing that no one else can hear our thoughts.

lyrics

What if you could see inside my head
See what swings from light posts
See the colours of the paths I tread
What if you could hear the things I've heard
Listen to my memories and make sense of every word
'Cause I've been hearing a strange, soft sound
That nobody hears
Like a heart break, breaking and drowning in tears
I've been watching a life slip, slipping
Through monotonous days
Like a mannequin marching through perpetual haze
And it's strange, strange, strange
What if every wish I wished came true
Everyone would see the things I always hid from view
What if I could show you what I've seen in my darkest hours
Would you finally understand me?
'Cause I've been hearing a strange, soft sound
That nobody hears
Like a heart break, breaking and drowning in tears
I've been watching a life slip, slipping
Through monotonous days
Like a mannequin marching through perpetual haze
And it's strange, strange
I've been pursing my lips
And cursing the times I tripped and I let it slip that I
Oh, I almost, I almost did it again
And I've been crossing my fingers
Behind my back when talking
But words keep walking
