Ponder - Stranger

Creep creep creep on my mind it’s a sign, somethings
Up to no good, a nefarious design, and my
Shine tends to blind while i’m steady on my grind but to-
Day i feel the shadow of a force I cannot find. Throwing
Shade that degrades my ambition, I’m amazed at the
Power of this feeling, hypnotic in it’s sway, I make a
Way through the darkness but the path become a maze, and a
Way that seemed familiar has me staring in a daze, I’m ap-
Palled after all, I spent my life standing tall, seeing
Over the walls put there to force a stall, ready to
Give my all, go harder after last call, but to-
Day if i should stumble I may surely fall, Rock of Gi-
Braltar falters and dissolved when I sought her, lost my
Sure footin’ when, I tried to walk on water, this force
Swallows my faith, a wraith that stealthily waits, for that
Moment to strike, and leave despair in it’s wake
Each day I rise, I see a stranger in my place, who
Shares my eyes and he wears my face
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place. I’m
Searching for the man, this stranger replaced
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place. I’m
Feeling erased. I’m feeling erased
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place
Each day I rise a see a stranger
Danger, danger, sinking deep and I’m drowning
Anger, anger, this new feelin’s ungrounding
Stranger, stranger, creeps into your surrounding
Banger, banger, the creepin’s changed to pounding, as he
Assaults my mind, weakens my will and my drive, this stranger
Breaks into my home just to assert that he owns me, my
Sense of security becomes sweet distant memory, if i’m
not safe in my head and i’m not safe in my body, I’ll re-
Strict all my movements and confine where I tread. This stranger’s
Sowing his poison, watch his tentacles spread. A
Hostage to a sadness that I cannot explain, twenty
Three in the hole, o my soul, i’ll go insane, my brain
Cant sustain, all the strain from these chains, feel con-
Strained, inhumane, i’m detained, here again. What do i
Gain from this darkness, arctic winds with their harshness, man it
Feels so heartless, I reach up for catharsis
Each day I rise, I see a stranger in my place, who
Shares my eyes and he wears my face
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place. I’m
Searching for the man, this stranger replaced
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place. I’m
Feeling erased. I’m feeling erased
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place
Each day I rise a see a stranger
A story untold, when despair takes it’s hold, no
Words to describe what I’m feeling inside, if this was
Poker I’d fold, monopoly pay the toll, resigned to
Walking this line between downtrodden and fine. But
That’s not where the journey ends instead it begins, because I’m
Learning resilience and I’m rising again. Moti-
Vate and believe that I have something to give, remember-
Ing to honor our purpose each day that we live
Each day I rise, I see a stranger in my place, who
Shares my eyes and he wears my face
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place. I’m
Searching for the man, this stranger replaced
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place. I’m
Feeling erased. I’m feeling erased
Each day I rise I see a stranger in my place
Each day I rise a see a stranger
Remembering to honor our purpose every day that we live
Remembering to honor our purpose every day that we live
Remembering to honor our purpose every day that we live
Remembering to honor our purpose every day that we live
