To the hilt

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
Burn the bridges
forge ahead
to the hilt
