family curse. Lyrics

Your demons are hidden in the honey

The fountain of youth is looking a little muddy

The poison was slipped in when you paid it no mind

And how many drinks in?

Do you even know the time?

Did it get stronger or did you get weaker?

Can you no longer act as your own keeper?

Gone are the days you had it under control

It's always been like this, you just got old

You like to think that isn't you

Even though you slipped up more than a time or two

You can pull away from those generational roots

This family curse ends with you

This family curse ends with you

You severed the leverage you had by staying aloof

Although you didn't mean to, you wound up playing the fool

You swear this is the last time

You'll ever spend a dime on fine wine or moonshine

It was one bad night and you wanna make it right

You can't stand the sight of your momma crying

I hope you're not lying

They'll try to tell you that it's in your genes

Just another bud off of the family tree

But I don't think you ever had it under control

You only notice now because you have a toll to pay

You like to think that isn't you

Even though you slipped up more than a time or two

You can pull away from those generational roots

This family curse ends with you

So this is what it's like to have something to lose

Find yourself wondering if it's worth all that booze

So you can pull away from those generational roots

This family curse ends with you

This family curse ends with you

This family curse ends with you
