Family Curse Lyrics

You had to put me down

You said it couldn't wait til next time

I was shell-shocked by the sound

You hit the breaks and turned it on a dime, baby

My little lamb is on the lam

I leave every light in my house on

Your mama doesn't give a damn

You're going now, don't know how far

I'm praying to Jesus that at least he sees this

And he'll get to it when he can

I'm coming up empty and I'm going down worse

It's a family curse, just get here when you can

The darkest hour's before the dawn

Yet it's been 52 weeks of pitch black

On and on and on since you've been gone

You haven't even heard Here's Your Book Back, baby

My neighbors think I'm shooting up

I only venture out for fast food

And as if that ain't enough

I'm ashing in my favourite coffee cup

I'm praying to Jesus that at least he sees this

And he'll get to it when he can

I'm coming up empty and I'm going down worse

It's a family curse, just get here when you can

I'll be waiting

All the soft green grass has turned into cold hard glass

And this is the sound of it breaking

I'm praying to Jesus that at least he sees this

And he'll get to it when he can

For now I'm coming up empty and I'm going down worse

It's a family curse, just get here when you can

And I'll be waiting
