A complete unknown

In the hallway
A seed was sewn
Into the mind of a complete unknown
Then a story
Which was never known
Rose to the surface
And soon took hold

Like a battle
You just can't win
What you've kept out
You now let in
And the secrets of a convenient friend
Bringing you back
Again and again

Back and fourth from what you think is right
Time could heal the things you feel tonight

So wake up
Put on a new face
Following through
With agreements made
But a feeling
You just can't name
Is taking control
Of what you do and say

Back and fourth from what you think is right
Time could heal the things you feel tonight

Roads signal decay
When you're torn between your words
You cannot be saved
This is something you own

You won't get no sympathy
Try if you want but it won't be free
From the shadows
You just can't see
Desire and need
Almost never agree
