COUNTERPARTS 'Stranger' (Official Music Video)

Stranger Lyrics

Your ghost holds me close as I’m ravaged by the solitary that surrounds my former home. Use me until you’ve spent the rest of my remains and then try to validate your actions. Cursing every empty vein that used to be inhabited by your impression. Paralyze me
to ensure I have no chance of knowing the feeling of affection. It’s no secret that I’ve shed the common decency that appoints the world with the burden of devotion to our kin. I gave you everything I had and the world has left
me exhausted. So make me feel something, anything that might change my mind. As worthless as I am, I know that I still serve a purpose. To leech off the light and absolve
my insignificance. Lay me to rest inside of a glass casket so you can remember me with
a smile on my face. Adorning me in my own failures so you can count them as you stand above my bones. I wish I were a better man.
I am a coward masked in courage and just admitting this will not save me this time. So free me from my tired mind and let me learn the difference between a single tear and the runoff of an ocean. Weak and weary from my predatory nature. So bless me with aban- donment in my greatest time of need. Let me carry on knowing that I could never truly face my reflection. It’s much easier to caress the broken glass. Though if I accidentally catch a glimpse of myself in the shards, I will put my faith in the shrapnel to correct my vision. I am a stranger when I stare into the eyes of those
I love. Look away in disgust, protect yourself from the sight of my deception.

[Dude-Wtf]

Something about when he scream “I wish I were a better man” - is just brutal

The instrumentals alone in essentially every song Counterparts produces are just full blown eargasms, like it's beyond enjoying music, it's actually satisfying to listen to, it's like everything is composed just right and it all falls into place and meshes together perfectly.

[JacksonTheEpic]

This is the first time I've ever listen to counterparts.... I'm absolutely blown away

[Nintendodo]

Tragedy Will Find Us has grown on me. It has proven to be a very memorable album.

[sadvibesforever]

Lay me to rest inside of a glass casket, So you can remember me with a smile on my face.

[ryuiti]

"Tragedy Will Find Us" is a masterpiece.

[kobyparks]

one of the best to ever do it. nice music.

[timothyskateboards]

they could put out a song entirely of farts and I'd still be hyped as fuck

[itsnicksharpbro]

I found these guys at my lowest point and I feel nothing but a loss of stress every time I hear them play.

[Wilbrown]

No one does transitions like Counterparts. They are the best. You tie that into awesome guitar work, tight drumming and great vocals/lyrics, you get one of the best bands to ever do it.

[MusicBoi]

Still my favorite record, and favorite song. Seeing them live in grand rapids, michigan on november 16th.

[MrKjg]

It's crazy that they have been this consistent with all the lineup changes over the years. Every track is awesome, all the time, 10 years strong now.

[OscarTorres-bvzn]

Pretty fucked up to day this but Brendan seems really broken and it’s just so fucking beautiful the way he expresses it

[Rizzn]

This is some real good stuff, probably one of the best bands out there.

[kabelosehanka]

The only band today that still plays proper Hardcore. Beautiful

[fraftti]

my first counterparts song, 2 and a half years ago. still as good as ever

[AndresLdkfjgh]

I wonder who's gonna compose the next album, Jesse was too fucking good at composing. I hope they don't dissapoint us.

[ezramaestri]

This is one of the most poetic and beautiful songs I have ever listened to

[hndhldmusic]

Oh sick, I didn't know Dallas Green was in Counterparts. That's pretty cool

[FoleyCloud]

Saw them live on Thursday and it was one of the best live performances I've seen
