A Reels Romance
Only the stranger knows
Only your stranger knows
Only our strangers know our rapture
Only you know your distraction
A reel's romance with violence divides this need
This want, this craving to let go of memories
I see the screen
I close my eyes to forget
But the light has burnt my dark
A residual past
Of my choice when you showed me
A real romance with violence
The off and on of a conscience
Dark the lights of darkness
Still we hide in the theatre next to strangers
Only the strangers know what makes you cry
Only your strangers know what makes you fear
Only our strangers know our rapture
Only you know your distraction
(It's just like watching this movie trying to escape
But the thoughts keep coming through the screen
It all reminds me of everything, everything
I'm trying to come clean
But the bloodstains in the bed are the same as in the bed that we shared
And even in the shoes where you bled
I want you to forget what you said
You don't know what you're dealing with
You showed me (You showed me)
You showed me (You showed me, you showed me)
You showed me (You showed me, you showed me)
You showed me (You showed me)
You showed me (You showed me)
A real romance with violence
The off and on of a conscience
Dark the lights of darkness
Still we hide in the theatre next to strangers
Only the strangers know what makes you cry
Only your strangers know what makes you fear
A reel's romance with violence (Only the strangers know what makes you cry)
Divides this need, this want, this craving to let go of memories
I see the screen
I close my eyes to forget (Only you know the screen)
But the light has burnt my dark
A residual past
Of my choice when
Only the strangers know what makes you cry (Only the strangers)
(Only the strangers know) (Only the strangers)
(Only the strangers)
(Only the strangers)
Only you know the distraction
