Ethel Cain - Strangers Lyrics

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

You're so handsome, walking over to me now

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
Just tell me I'm yours
If I'm turning in your stomach
Am I making you feel sick?

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
(When I'm all over your mouth
When I'm all over your mouth)

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
Just tell me I'm yours
If I'm turning in your stomach
Am I making you feel sick?
(Am I making you feel sick?)

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?

Found you just to tell you that I made it real far
And that I never blamed you for loving me the way you did
While you were torn apart
I would do it with you there
Don't think about it too hard
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
And I'll see you when you get here
