Stranger

I'm a suspect, a suspect in this mystery but this case is incomplete This isn't how it's supposed to be this: a foreign word but I need to know, need to know this what is this Is the stranger me now the stranger in this picture, in this frame this falling frame that I'm deeming incomplete I am this incomplete masterpiece that everyone, everyone thinks they can control they can manipulate like a chess piece or movable stone but I'm neither one, I'm myself Chasing a light in this firefight in a moment that's passed, it passed... I'm a suspect, I'm a suspect a suspect in this mystery, do you not know me breathlessly I scream but this case is incomplete, am I invisible This isn't how it's supposed to be, everything's wrong this, this, this; a problem carved into brick A foreign word but I need to know, I need to know why have I turned cold as ice what is this Is the stranger me, the stranger in this picture in this still frame, am I insane in this still frame that's falling falling away in this, in this, in this
