Promise Keepers

Shelters full out on the streets tonight Swollen shut black eyes burning bright Folded arms hold everything she's ever owned Folded arms holding every broken bone Hard to stand on broken feet below the ground The silent face that screams a shattered sound More to the eye than another knotted fist Slash the lips that were once longed to be kissed Promise keepers nothing cheaper, yeah Promise to keep her digging deeper One strong smile reminds looks can deceive If you're strong enough to bleed You're strong enough to leave Running away again down the same short hall The face she used to have stares from these walls Burn the rope while tying up loose ends Introduced to the family secret again First step out is up then you start to walk Take first salt by grain then by block Promise keepers nothing cheaper Promise to keep her digging deeper Promise keepers nothing cheaper I promise to keep her digging deep If you get the guts you gotta hold em tight You've got wings spread them out, take flight Hard to stand on broken feet below the ground The silent face that screams a shattered sound Promise keepers nothing cheaper Promise to keep her digging deeper Promise keepers nothing cheaper I promise to keep her digging deeper
