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
