    Strangers Lyrics:
    [Intro]
    "God is telling you and I there is death, for all of us
    But then we find that the scriptures also tell us that we have a great promise, that there is a better place for those who believe in the lord Jesus Christ"
    [Verse 1]
    In your basement, I grow cold
    Thinking back to what I was always told
    Don't talk to strangers or you might fall in love
    Freezer bride, your sweet divine
    You devour like smoked bovine hide
    How funny, I never considered myself tough
    [Pre-Chorus]
    You're so handsome, walking over to me now
    [Chorus]
    I tried to be good
    Am I no good?
    Am I no good?
    Am I no good?
    With my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence
    I just wanted to be yours
    Can I be yours?
    Can I be yours?
    Can I be yours?
    If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick
    [Verse 2]
    When my mother sees me on the side
    Of a milk carton in Winn-Dixie's dairy aisle
    She'll cry and wait up for me
    We'll make love in your attic all night
    Euphoric in some strange delight
    I'm happier here cause he told me I should be
    You're so handsome when I'm all over your mouth
    [Chorus]
    I tried to be good
    Am I no good?
    Am I no good?
    Am I no good?
    With my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence
    I just wanted to be yours
    Can I be yours?
    Can I be yours?
    Can I be yours?
    If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick
    [Bridge]
    Am I making you feel sick?
    Am I making you feel?
    Am I making you feel sick?
    Am I making you feel?
    Am I making you feel sick?
    Am I making you feel sick?
    Am I making you feel sick?
    Am I making you feel sick?
    Am I?
    [Outro]
    Found you just to tell you that I made it real far
    And that I never blamed you for loving me the way that you did While you were torn apart
    I would still wait with you there
    Don't think about it too hard
    Or you'll never sleep a wink at night again
    Don't worry 'bout me and these green eyes
    Mama, just know that I love you (I do)
    And I'll see you when you get here

    I just finished this album today…
    I really think the universe wanted me to understand this album. For 5 years my high school sweetheart and I tried to make it work. We moved all over our home state of Utah before he left for Oregon. Our dream was to live in Northern California on his dad’s property. I eventually made it to Oregon too and our fights became so bad we were evicted from the apartment we shared. He stayed in Oregon and I moved back to Utah.
    He was diagnosed with ASPD 4 years into our relationship, and I watched as every little shred of empathy in him disappeared. I wasn’t a perfect partner, but all I wanted was to belong and feel loved and safe. I really wanted to marry him, but even he knew we were too broken.
    I have dreams of him killing me quite often, even while I was still sharing his bed. I can only imagine what reality could have been if we had moved to Georgetown
    Im glad to be here and healing ❤️‍🩹 this album already means so much to me, it just fits way too well
