lyrics

- Willingham -

It was over like that
burnt the house to the ground
two days 'til Christmas in a faraway town
They found him there on the curb
covered in soot
'sterically screaming that the fire had took
his 3 little girls turned to ash in his hands
These are the ways that you bury a man
These are the ways

The pieces didn't add up
they said he showed no remorse/regret/wasn't sad enough
They hauled the man in and manufactured a story
They said he tucked 'em all in
and barricaded the doors
and squirted some lighter fluid over the floor
Stood on the sidewalk like a piece of white trash
and let the house burn into cinders and ash
These are the ways

The D.A. laid it all out
he'd had a pitiful life
a cracker mechanic who would beat up his wife
Saved his piece of shit car
instead of rescuing his kids
only the highest of punishments for what he had did
These are the ways that justice pays for the truth (that we interpret the truth)
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
These are the ways

In a faraway town
I think of him then
Hysterically screaming as the needle goes in
And then all you can hear
is the beat of his chest
gradually slowing with each shallower breath
These are the ways you make a dog of a man
The blood in the water is on all of our hands
