knox hill - family curse lyrics

(somebody could get up, yer) [?]

[verse 1]
old german shepperd with the german shepperd
he [?] whether let’s hope the oldest bourbon seller
never rope but knew his letters. he was clever
but no smarts when the fritz came calling
whole world at war for the blitz, he was caught up
though he made his family leave from the evil they would see
he hoped they’d leave him be, had his limbs chopped down to the trunk
that’s a lesson ’bout my family tree

[bridge]
grandfather was a career soldier
he served the red, white and blue as he got older
old uncle sam had his back and rubbed his shoulder
then vietnam happened and one landmine and he’s blown up (boom!)
now my grandma’s a widow about to get deported, now the press is out her window
now it’s +cl!ck, cl!ck, cl!ck+ for the headlines for the wife of a vietnam hero but it’s cool she got a medal

[chorus]
i just want to run out of he+rs+ [?]
the devil and his keys
and i’m sitting in reverse, ’bout to back up on my life and make it worse
dealing with disease and i know i can’t be cured
i’m certain and uncertain and certainly unsure
no sir, i assure it’s a circus over her
this ain’t church
climb up to the canopy, i’m winding up the family tree
it’s nuts but i think the family’s cursed
[verse 2]
war widow lost her father and her husband
now she’s on her own in a country that don’t love her
three kids, two jobs, and can’t afford a budget
but she got the medal from the president, don’t touch it
one day downstairs, in the kitchen makin’ dinner
the curse intervenes on a date she will remember
the youngest son upstairs [?]
playing [with] hangman’s noose but there was no imagination
the belt around his neck and the knotch [?] got stuck
he was running out of breath and he tried to scream out
but no one could hear his stress and he collapsed on the floor
no air or seconds left, when mom rushes in
eyes open, he is… dead
well, another leaf falls from the tree
so young, he ain’t even reach his teens
just another tragedy, guess it could’ve been an uncle too

[chorus]
i just want to run out of he+rs+ [?]
the devil and his keys
and i’m sitting in reverse, ’bout to back up on my life and make it worse
dealing with disease and i know i can’t be cured
i’m certain and uncertain and certainly unsure
no sir, i assure it’s a circus over her
this ain’t church
climb up to the canopy, i’m winding up the family tree
it’s nuts but i think the family’s cursed
[verse 3]
overtime, i have tried to branch out and be different
i give and i give but i feel like something’s missing
someone, somehow, i’m trying, to fix it
but i don’t really know, i’m just tryna fill the picture
more tragedy struck when my grandmother died
my uncle lost his leg, then +beep, beep+ so much for the family line
my mom got divorced but that’s normal nowadays so i guess that that’s fine?
when my career self+destructs just know it was all by design
my gift is a curse and i rep the family ties
i stick to the script and i’m skipping through the lives
in the tree, drip drip, gasoline
i light the match on my jeans as the smoke fills the skies
and i choke on the demise
greta thunberg won’t be happy but it’s fine
i dedicate the roots [?] to my family’s pie

[chorus]
i just want to run out of he+rs+ [?]
the devil and his keys
and i’m sitting in reverse, had to back up on my life and make it worse
dealing with disease and i know i can’t be cured
i’m certain and uncertain and certainly unsure
no sir, i assure it’s a circus over her
this ain’t church
climb up to the canopy, i’m winding up the family tree
it’s nuts but i think the family’s cursed
