Stride

Shepherds to agree with you

Ears that never hear

Fold your hands

And mouth the words

And hold your body near

If you'll see the story

The footsteps in the mud

Scrape with broken fingernails

The time is still as blood

Chorus:

I'm still searching for someone

To walk right by my side

Please don't run away

Please don't run and hide

There is a path where only you could walk beside

Footsteps fall in unison

With every single stride

If we're all pretending

With angelic yellow smiles

That we can turn

We can know

The silence for a while

Repression driving heaven's nails

Pray your ghost, your cards

Burn and rape the heavy scales

With answers from the stars

Repeat Chorus

(The cross the skin you choose to wear)

Am I alone?

(The dance you know and the past you bear)

Am I alone?

(Static. static. can you make out the melody?)

'Cause I am alone

(The quiet song to miss you, miss you

And save me, save me)

'Cause I am alone

Repeat Chorus

With every single stride, yeah

With every, every stride, yeah

With every stride

'Cause I am alone
