The Same Curse

Gods they care

For themselves

Losing touch in the space between heaven and hell

Was he a father?

Maybe a liar

'Cause now all I see is he let down the ones around you

Where do you turn?

When the world around you burns

And you see the evil inside the people

That make life-living worth

I know it shouldn't hurt

But I can't help the feeling

That I'm born with the same curse

Four years to the day

I left a piece of my soul

In a haze of cigarette smoke sitting by the side of the road

I was scared to grow up

I feared the part of him in me

'Til my mother sat me down

Son, you know you'll never be lonely

It's not that easy

When you're raised in shadows

Of a man so self-possessed he hung his kid in the gallows

And he refused to move on

Depressed under a bottle of inertia

You made her feel she'd never find another

A sister and a brother fucking loved you

Where do you turn?

When the world around you burns

And you see the evil inside the people

That make life-living worth

I know it shouldn't hurt

But I can't help the feeling

That I'm born with the same curse

Where do you turn?

When the world around you burns

And you see the evil inside the people

That make life-living worth

I know it shouldn't hurt

But I can't help the feeling

That I'm born with the same curse

I'm born with the same curse

I'm born with the same curse

I'm born with the same curse
