Woke up - still in a dream

nothing's the same

can't pronounce my name

I open my mouth

words come out

that make no sense

for a stranger's ear

in a foreign language

in a foreign land

now I'm an alien

on a different planet

it makes it clear - I understand

we are all strangers - in a foreign land



burn the bridges

forge ahead

to the hilt



back home I feel insane

nothing's the same

except for my name

I open my mouth

words come out

that make no sense

for my lover's ear

in my native language

in my native land

I'm still the alien

on a different planet

it makes it clear - I understand

I am a stranger - in my own land
