Stranger Than

I know

It's hell

Cruel thought cartel

Benzo?

Or cell?

When you're overwhelmed

In front of everyone

You manage to go numb

Before you come undone

A Springtime horror

Better off without the sun

You're holding Chekov's gun

And watching a rerun

It's something gory

Hold me like a picket sign

Write me a new storyline

Treat me like a friend

Maybe we can mend

Starting at the end

But it might take more than a weekend

And like a friend

I'll patiently wait for you

But it might take more than a week to end

I know

It's hell

Cruel thought cartel

Benzo?

Or cell?

When you're overwhelmed

Stranger than some sordid fiction

Anyone could cite

It's a first edition

You bought the copy, right?

Generate a new tradition

With an appetite

For a contradiction

A collision

Hold me like a picket sign

Write me a new storyline

Treat me like a friend

Maybe we can mend

Starting at the end

But it might take more than a weekend

And like a friend

I'll patiently wait for you

But it might take more than a week to end

I know

It's hell

Cruel thought cartel

Benzo?

Or cell?

When you're overwhelmed

Hold me like a picket sign

Write me a new storyline

In the rain we pop champagne

And pour one out for life

Treat me like a friend

Maybe we can mend

Starting at the end

But it might take more than a weekend

And like a friend

I'll patiently wait for you
