The Kingsport Curse

Watching all your dreams burn down

Turn your insides inside out

All you love has been renounced

Look who's laughing now

Such tragic figures

Got caught cropping the picture

To fit in your descriptor

Claiming yourself the victim

Snake on the path

Now you're just a part of my past

The good times never last

I had to come to grips with that

Say goodbye to safe and sound

Always lost and never found

I've heard that wounds will heal with time

But I don't think time can heal what's on the inside

Such tragic lives

They take your tools just to get by

And then act surprised when we drop like flies

The wealthy run the experiment

Minimize the human experience

Reduce us down to mutts

Left cold, wheels spinning in the muck

Oh, the wheels just spin in the muck

The sanctity of your dignity

Is dying on it's fucking knees

I want to see you choke on the hope

That you dangled in front of me

Look who's laughing now

You waged a war against yourself

And now there's no way out

Can you talk to god?

Are you still on hold?

The music plays, you meet your end

Left with a dial tone

No one is safe

Nothing is sound

When all is lost

Nothing is found
