Anyone could be the one.

Deep beneath my withered sheets,
there's a world of people I've yet to meet.
from tall, dark strangers on the streets,
to those who hold secrets they cannot speak.

it's hard to say who is who,
when I'm looking straight into you.
there's something about the way you move..
that makes me judge your attitude.

I'm stranded here upon this land.
making wears from a rubber band.
when out reaches a dirty hand,
helping me up and making me stand.

he says he wants to be my friend.
but who to trust and make amends.
from a town so dark and at it's end.
i put my faith in a stranger's bend.

he controls my thoughts and the words i say.
but that's what gets me through the day.
to make connections in so many ways.
I'm lead, I'm lead, he leads me astray.

when i looked up into his eyes.
i believed there were reasons for me to get by.
from changing my looks and telling more lies.
i couldn't believe i had no reason die.

i thought my life was as good as done.
i thought that, this time, Satan had won.
I'd let it go and and hold my tongue.
the screams and pleads are all but one.

but i was mistaken, i know that now.
i know it all, but i know not how.
i forgot the words i spoke aloud.
you changing my mind, i could not allow.
