Queensryche - Eyes Of A Stranger lyrics

Album: Operation: Mindcrime (1988)

"
All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had & what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see smth that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake & sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me

And I raise my head & stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I have always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Is this all that is left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they´ve always promised
Theres got to be smth left for me
And I raise my head & stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I have always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare]

How many times must I live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, & for how long

And I raise my head & stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I have always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare
