Lyrics
This town is like a poison
There's one street light but no warning
On the outside it seems charming
No one ever sees it coming
The smaller this town gets
Deeper the quicksand goes
When you think you've made it out
You've only begun the throes
Of death and dying in this town
Paint the walls and sweep the street
Underneath is still the same
You might grow up, but never leave
There's a tree was used for hanging
Crooked branches gone through milling
Limbs where necks were breaking
Are now the beams in our church ceiling
Schoolhouse preps
The courthouse steps
And the lawman sings
While the church bell rings
Grandma hopes
The Council votes
Same surnames
Oh, nothing changes
Now the ghosts we keep condemning
Settle into new beginnings
History marches on, repeating
And we call our Hell improving
Now, the smaller this town gets
Deeper the quicksand goes
When you think you've made it out
You've only begun the throws
Of death and dying in this town
Paint the walls and sweep the streets
Underneath is still the same
You might grow up, but never leave
Oh, the smaller this town gets
Deeper the quicksand goes
When you think you've made it out
You've only begun the throws
Of death and dying in this town
Paint the walls and sweep the streets
Underneath is still the same
You might grow up, but never leave
