Stranger - Sammus, Seeming

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
