Strangers Lyrics - A Deathbed Promise

Verse 1: 

Straps on her hills 

for some crumpled dollar bills 

a body full of pills 

so she doesn't have to feel 

the still eyes that sit in silence 

and the hands that are prone to violence 

beaten down by the men that she trusted 

Chorus: 

She's running away from her life 

no longer to be the victim 

she says 

"I'm carving myself out the picture, but leaving a stain only you could remember. 

I'm putting this all behind me, but leaving a stain only you could remember." 

Verse 2: 

The fingerprints of kin 

draw the stories in his skin 

revulsion latches on 

and worms its way in 

it worms its way in 

it's so disgusting 

it's so disgusting 

Chorus: 

He's running away from his life 

no longer to be the victim 

he says 

"I'm carving myself out the picture, but leaving a stain only you could remember. 

I'm putting this all behind me, but leaving a stain only you could remember" 

Bridge: 

We could be the change 

(Change) 

We could be the change 

(Change) 

We are the strangers 

that you don't see 

we are 

running away from our lives 

no longer to be the victims 

we say 

"We're carving ourselves out the picture, leaving a stain only you could remember. 

and putting this all behind us, leaving a stain only you could remember." 

(You could remember)
