Strangers by Antone Lyrics
[Chorus: Denize]
Keep it all inside
As the time ticks by
Keep it all in check
At least for a sec
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
[Verse 1: AnTone]
Nothing less and nothing more
We can never get ready for what's in store
You could have a bum knee, bum leg, be a bum
Better yet be a bum rapper with a better set...
And still come up short
Oh, come on, old sport
Did you really think your mom would
Drive you to the airport?
I must've hated a bunch of faces before I finally hate mine
Late night
But my braces make me faceless in the daytime
In the nighttime, I become someone else
I have to ask like ten people for some help
And even if I get ten yeses and zero no's
I truly know that I can only be my own hero
I can't look at the mirror like MJ
Mid-life career crisis still itching for a BA
It's BS cause I'm a reject doing bad things too often
But I can't help but think that I'm the only one who's stopping me
Or at least it's how it seems
It's never really over till the pretty ladies sing
My songs over and over in their bathtub
Hitting up my phone at midnight for a backrub, but
But it's back to the present
It's the little things that I'm starting to cherish
A little nightmarish even though it's the crack of dawn
But they don't get to be a king unless they know how to be pawn
[Chorus: Denize]
Keep it all inside
As the time ticks by
Keep it all in check
At least for a sec
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
[Verse 2: AnTone]
Do I really know the man in the mirror?
I need a bit of Windex to make it all clearer
Man I need a bit of help I can hold onto
Yet I do everything that I'm supposed to do
I'm living in a world so lucid
But I'm just another human with thoughts so stupid
I put in all this work cause I expect a return
But it's yet another lesson that I have to learn
Like if I ask a girl out somewhere low key
Maybe to go catch a flick or karaoke
And she says yes but it doesn't work in the end
Then I go back home cause I don't comprehend
Is it you? Are you the one to blame?
Is it the lack of a name or lack of the fame?
Lack of the game cause you're without both. You lacking the same
Boy you belong in the back of the plane
I really think action over consequence
What is the cause of bottomless lack of confidence?
All of the times I'm questioning my own competence
I remind myself that L is just a consonant
But it's back to the future
A future where I know I'll be a loser
But I'll also be a winner because I know that deep inside
That you do a little both every time that you try
[Chorus: Denize & AnTone]
Keep it all inside
As the time ticks by
Keep it all in check
At least for a sec
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
Keep it all inside
As the time ticks by
Keep it all in check
At least for a sec
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
Cause we're strangers to ourselves
Cause we're dangers to ourselves
[Verse 1: AnTone]
Nothing less and nothing more
We can never get ready for what's in store
