Strangers
I feel oddly betrayed, although I know I shouldn't. Walking around alone makes me feel better and infinitely worse at the same time. It makes me feel better because I won't have the problem lurking around the corner of my eyes, reminding me constantly of my inadequacies and shortcomings, but it makes me feel worse because it just goes to exacerbate my loneliness and isolation.

I am so isolated from everything else. I am a little island and I spend my days watching the waves lash across my white sands, eroding my banks until finally only the proverbial tree is left standing above all the chaos. And finally I'm sucked under these waves, still alone, still drowning. And no one sees it, no one knows, because I'm just a little island in the deep blue sea.

But it doesn't matter.
Nothing lived on the island anyway.

I don't know your face no more
Or feel the touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just the place I'm looking for

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well, we might as well, we might as well...

I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well, we might as well
We might as well be strangers, be strangers, be strangers
For all I know of you now, for all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know...
