A Reel's Romance Lyrics

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 a movie trying to escape but the thoughts keep coming through the screen

it all reminds me of 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
