Strange Figure

lyrics

Lyrics:

They gave it your name
they gave it your face
and now it lives a life of its own

in a place where odd things happen
all the time
all the time

gave it your smile
gave it your tears
and now it feels the way they want

It feels so strange to think
It's all that people see from you
all that people see from you
all that people see from you
all that people see from you

(You're a)
strange figure
behind the glass
fake picture
in the heads of
all the passers-by
who don't care
if you're true or a lie

You can't resist, you can't resist
they choose the way
you exist

Draw your face on the wall
we see you rise
we see you fall

And all the scratches
on the surface
they just give more purpose

In the parks and markets
strange figures
have targets

(You're a)
strange figure
behind the glass
fake picture
in the heads of
all the passers-by
who don't care
if you're true or a lie

Strange figures
all I see
fake pictures
in my head
