Strangers
Kush Mody Lyrics

They press our teardrops into diamonds
Adversities that makes us cry, gets transformed into something valuable

They change our sorrows into gold
Difficulties and griefs are not permanent and they can be converted into joy and happiness

They're gonna turn our blood to rubies
The hardships and suffering we endure in life can shape our personalities into something beautiful

We just need someone we can hold
The comfort and support of someone dear can help us through our hardest times

Got an issue but it's getting bigger and bigger
The problem at hand is escalating and becoming more difficult to deal with

In the beginning it was something minor
The problem at hand was not so serious initially

Got a rat up in my kitchen and we gotta get rid of it
Dealing with the problem at hand, no matter how trivial it may seem, is necessary

So we're bringing in a tiger
To tackle a bigger problem, we need to bring in more powerful resources

There's something inside her
There's a deeper issue or feeling that needs to be addressed in her

Thought you were blissful
I thought everything was going well, but it's not

I heard you did it with a pink-handled pistol
I heard you attempted suicide with a gun, possibly out of desperation and hopelessness

But sadness, it tend to latch on
Sadness and depression can cling to us and be hard to shake off

And it won't let go like a pitbull
Sadness and depression can feel like they're gripping onto us for dear life

Don't even know if you left a note
I don't even know if you said goodbye properly

Should we blame the Depakote?
Should we blame the medication for not working properly?

Or vilify the Abilify?
Or should we criticize the medication for its potential side-effects?

You were trying to find your vanilla sky
You were trying to search for happiness, peace and clarity

Then you unravel
Then everything fell apart

Face down on rock bottom fucking chewing gravel
You hit rock bottom and are struggling to get back up

Because a human's so fragile. What can you do?
Being human and dealing with tough situations can be extremely difficult and overwhelming

But they can't change our hearts to stone
No matter what happens, we can still hold onto our emotions and compassion

I know that we are not alone
Even in the darkest moments, we have people who care and support us

I know it's sappy
I know this may sound cheesy or predictable

But I want my family to be happy
I want my loved ones to be content and joyful

Without becoming flatter than a sheet of paper
But not at the cost of becoming dull and unexciting

An army of zombies shuffling through a vapor
A group of people aimlessly following societal norms and values

But I know folks who found something beautiful
I know people who found their own version of happiness and beauty in life

And they credit the pharmaceuticals
They attribute their recovery and wellbeing to medication

For slaying the demons that they're running from
For getting rid of the harmful and negative forces that haunted them in the past

It might have saved their lives and I'm one of em
It's possible that medication saved their life, and I can relate to that

But there's a limit to the shit you can endure
There's a breaking point to what a person can handle

You get addicted to the cure
You can become dependent on medication and it's healing powers

The spike ain't not mystery
The rise in drug abuse is not a secret

We're any penny in a billion dollar industry
We're just tiny, insignificant people in the grand scheme of the pharmaceutical industry

And there's a mothafucka on living on the hill pushing pills
There are people who are profiting off of our struggles and pain

Stacking bills off our misery
They're making money off of our misfortune and suffering

Had a teaspoon that's full of pain
I had a small amount of pain that gradually grew over time

Got an ocean that's full of sorrow
Now my pain has become an overwhelming, seemingly endless sea of sorrow
