Appalachia (Mama taught me how to spot a snake) Lyrics

Like the darkness rising in Appalachia

All things must be purged

When they're not of truth

We were born just to die

The way things are

They can't stay like this

Forever it must be changing

If we believe it's cause we've yet to know

What it's like to feel alive

This is the matrix

This is the matrix

Mama taught me how to spot a snake

Pa taught me how to pull the trigger

Grampa taught me how to dig a grave

Always needed to make a little bit bigger

God taught me

That we are

A living breathing concept

Looking into a mirror of the mind

Like the darkness purged

From Appalachia

What if we can jsut make up our purpose

And that's what our lives are

Renovation

And we

Weren't born just to die

Only to be alive

We are the things that we think and carry

Throughout the days of our lives

The world moves slow motion

Like the darkness rising

In Appalachia

Mama taught me how to spot a snake

Pa taught me how to pull the trigger

Grampa taught me how to dig a grave

Always needed to make a little bit bigger

And everything opens up

Like portals up in that wall

Interdimensional thought process

That's what is all

Cause we're born in a generation

Where our televisions raised us

Like a train without them tracks

So the script is black

Paper dipped in ink

Born in a world where stupidity

Making ya famous

Using them furnaces of affliction

To release the bondages of contagion

The media lies and it's blatant

But we keep it on

The earth moves slow motion

But the world be spinning fast

You better live

Before them sands of times

Smothering out your laughs

We were born to love and dance

But somehow we forgot

And left the bliss in the past

Mama taught me how to spot a snake

Pa taught me how to pull the trigger

Grampa taught me how to dig a grave

Be proud of where you come from

It's what made you who you are

Mama taught me how to spot a snake

Pa taught me how to pull the trigger

Grampa taught me how to dig a grave

Mama taught me how to spot a snake

Pa taught me how to pull the trigger

Grampa taught me how to dig a grave

Mama taught me how to spot a snake

Pa taught me how to pull the trigger

Grampa taught me how to dig a grave

Always needed to make a little bit bigger
