Strange, Awful Feeling

I lost you while staring at a wall

No mirrors work, this change was inevitable

What a strange and awful feeling

Such a strange and awful feeling

I don't want you to know

Identity flirts with identity down in the blood

You're changing yourself not for you but for who you were

What a strange and awful feeling

Such a strange and awful feeling

I don't want you to know

It's known I've walked this road before

And rapped upon the devil's door

To see if he'd let an old friend in again

Sink inconsistently into the mist of my shroud

My fingers are blistered, I hope I ain't thinking aloud

I see you when you're sleeping

I know when you're awake

I don't want you to know

We stare at the faith we left waiting to rust in the hall

Our land is in pain and the future is stuck in the doorway

What a strange and awful feeling

Such a strange and awful feeling

I don't want you to know
