A Complete Unknown

In the hallway

a seed was sewn

into the mind of a complete unknown

then a story

which was never known

rose to the surface

and soon took hold



like a battle

you just can't win

what you've kept out

you now let in

and the secrets of a convenient friend

bringing you back

again and again



back and fourth from what you think is right

time could heal the things you feel tonight



so wake up

put on a new face

following through

with agreements made

but a feeling

you just can't name

is taking control

of what you do and say



back and fourth from what you think is right

time could heal the things you feel tonight



roads signal decay

when you're torn between your words

you cannot be saved

this is something you own



you won't get no sympathy

try if you want but it won't be free

from the shadows

you just can't see

desire and need

almost never agree
