Killian Lanham - Almost Hell West Virginia

Poverty, pain and decay
Shall erode us day by day
These surroundings make you numb
Unaware to the skeletons you have become
Theres more than the mountains that surround
More than a future six feet underground
This may well be a confession
To our darkest depression

Open your eyes and see
Those who bleed sympathy
Almost hell West Virginia
Our mountains of misery

Taxed to much nothing
Never amount to something
Suicides a way out
Forget what lifes about

Are drugs your only way out?
To cloak the lack of jobs and all self doubt?
9 To 5 is nothing but a dream
Overtime is all that boosts self esteem
Just how far will you all have to drive
Just to feel normal,to feel alive
I think of where i been and the money i spent
I hate this life and wonder the years went

Open your eyes and see
Those who bleed sympathy
Almost hell West Virginia
Our mountains of misery

West by god Virginia is what you say
But i guess your god calls in sick everyday
I see bible thumpers living in fear
But your prayers fall on deaf ears
Were trying to by, to get get ahead
Were just dragging time until were dead
Realize where you live, or have you forgot?
I'll hang a noose in the hills and gladly rot

Open your eyes and see
Those who bleed sympathy
Almost hell West Virginia
Our mountains of misery
Open your eyes and see
Those who bleed sympathy
Almost hell West Virginia
Our mountains of misery

Almost heaven West Virginia
Or is it almost hell?
Because for me, its hard to see
Its hard for me to tell
Almost heaven West Virginia
Or is it almost hell?
Because for me, its hard to see
Its hard for me to tell
