the hex

our rhythm walked the aisle
danced with our newborn child
but, all we heard were cries
conceived by buried lies

well, apples don’t fall far
the mirror told us all
you two, one and the same
so blind to Father's shame

imprisoned in this cage
just like a fearful stray
in time, i'll realize
no one gets out alive

an ancestral sin
that courses within
through veins contorted by the hex

decrepit roads you crawl
won’t resurrect the ball
once rolled and thrown to you
before your knees were bruised

they all lead to the door
that locked in '94
the heinous family curse
disguised through rotted birch

i bled to break this cage
despite your building rage
nine bites, i realized
i never should of tried

an ancestral sin
that courses within
through veins contorted by the hex

the bloodline cut thin
from death in the kin
a cancer mothered by the hex

an ancestral sin
that courses within
through veins contorted by the hex

the bloodline cut thin
from death in the kin
a cancer mothered by the hex
