Here I stand

_personal doubt, insecurity and the feeling of being guided towards things out of your control - an out of the body experience_

*Vocals by band drummer, Horatio Sage*

[verse]
Here I stand
On the edge of the ocean
Are there crowds?
Some kind of funding?
Too many bodies to focus
So many mouths to feed
Letting out gas in the atmosphere
Trying to convince me.. Yeah, me
This path I'm on ain't my own

[verse]
These people
Take away part of you
Because you were new?
Then.. They'll leave you?
You didn't do 
What you said you'd do
So they thought they were gettin' used?
There's a fine line between madness and truth

[Chorus] 
Oh, a stranger strolls in the dark
An influencer of the path I'm on
We get in his car and ride along
… into nothing

[verse] 
He says it's insane
Waking up each day
Actin' like changes don't matter
But it should
Hm, well for heavens sake
Not everything good gets better with age
…. Why'd he ever want to know my name?

[bridge]
I said, "it's stranger than you think"
The whole ride we didn't say another thing
Didn't care to ask him his
It'd probably be stranger than you think

[chorus]
SOOOOOOOO
This here stranger in the dark
Influence the path we're on
You'll get in his car and ride along
… into nowhere

[outro]
And I'll wager, he will get'cha.
