Head on East Kentucky is calling out your name
Find yourself a reason and move along my friend
The longer that you stay, the harder it’ll get
And the harder that it is, the longer lasts the pain
It was close to perfect until something went so wrong
Left you in the open as naked as a dog
It left your body broken and scattered on the lawn
Took you right on back where you started from
Hating yourself for believing
Hiding behind an excuse
Fighting the chill of evening
With bottles of bottomless booze
Falling further in darkness
Bawling and weeping away
Wallowing through all the carnage
And watching the world rot away
Doomed and disappointed, bound for suffering
You of pure desire cling to sacraments
And as the water rises you are ushered in
Never to feel tethered to this old world again
Hating yourself for believing
Hiding behind an excuse
Fighting the chill of evening
With bottles of bottomless booze
Falling further in darkness
Bawling and weeping away
Wallowing through all the carnage
And watching the world rot away
Cover your eyes from the madness still tragedy lies
It’s doubtful that you will escape its demanding design
Balancing acts and examples, balancing worlds just to cope
And you the fool are alone
Head on West Virginia is calling you to ride
And if it is no different at least you went and tried
Waiting around for answers, waiting around to die
Wait around and let regrets consume your life

"Smoke leaks from your mouth 'cause your heart is on fire" is one of my favorite lines like, ever. This one also fits two of my D&D characters pretty perfectly <3 gayforthesun
