The Stranger by Lord Huron
From Boreal's POV
I can't trust anyone or anything these days
(has never been able to. The only one he could trust was himself)
If you are who you say you are, then show your face
(A little desperate. Wary. Overly cautious of everything around him.)
Came out of the ocean like you came out of a dream
Your voice, it sounds familiar, but you are not what you seem (mother)
All your words of comfort cannot take away my doubts (mother)
I can't trust anyone or anything these days
But I know what you want and why (it was all for personal gain. For money. For influence. For image)
Of all the strangers, you're the strangest that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die (this mindset started even before he joined the army)
I can't trust anyone or anything these days
You are not the one you say you are (both)
You are not the one you say you are (parents)
I know enough to say you are not what you claim to be
I've kept a close watch upon you and I don't like what I see
I can't escape the feeling that you'll get me in the night (ties to Slither)
I sleep with one eye open, and I'm not afraid to fight
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
