Kali Masi - The Stray Lyrics

Hold me like a bouquet bound to be thrown over your shoulder
Spit my name out like a dog that needs to be put down Dance in my light
Dig your heels in my spine
I'm upright now (Amour Propre) To know you is to kneel. A rest that wasn't real. I'm up right now (Vive Ta Misere)
But I know you
And you need it bad. Found your fix, but you can't quite grip it
Control's a drug that you can't quit. You're lost and losing it.
Nothing feels right
Apprehension
Skin feels shrunken too much tension

When feet swing over the wall and heels dig into the earth There will be no more running from ourselves. The trailing haunt of malaise
There in the narrow gaze of the stray I became.

I know you And you need it bad Found you fix but you can't quite grip it
Control's the drug that you can't quit
You're lost and losing it.

I'll miss the pull
Of the prongs
In my collar, and how that felt like someone cared
To keep from what I wanted, me.
We writhe from want and grow from need.
But there'll be no-one to blame
When I'm out of the way
And the demon drowning well has dried.


If having grip of the rein
Is what you need to keep sane Canter frenetic to a shallow, shameful grave.
I don't believe in constellations even when my stars align.
Luck is made with good intention, love and grace.
