Lyrics Stranger - Sammus, Seeming

Stranger

You’re no longer who you were
You’re not anything like her
You’re surging higher
I’m no longer who I was
But that’s alright with me because
We’ve turned to fire
There are things deep in the seas
That blur the line from plant to beast
That curve and quiver
And I am not who I will be
Rest assured, I am not me
I move in rivers, joyful rivers
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger, I do
I keep gettin' stranger
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger, I do
First I’m camouflaged in feathers
Then I’m bioluminescently unfolding
First you can read all of my thoughts
Even ones that I forgot
Then you control them
Now like magnets side by side
Or cells on microscope slides
We’ll join together
It’s an injunction soft and strong
With all the mercy of the tides
So we surrender
Yes, we surrender
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger, I do
I keep gettin' stranger
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger, I do
I keep gettin' stranger
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger, I do
I keep gettin' stranger
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger
We’re evolving fast
We mutate and adapt with the turn of the hourglass
We’re evolving fast
Animals branching apart as the minutes pass
But let’s evolve faster, let’s evolve faster
Tail into rattler, wing upon antler
Let’s evolve faster, quicker than cancer
Let’s evolve, let’s evolve
Let’s rearrange and keep getting stranger and stranger
And born in a manger again
Let’s keep on changing and then
And changing and then
And changing again and then
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger, I do
I keep gettin' stranger
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger, I do
I keep gettin' stranger
When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep gettin' stranger
