A Gentleman's Curse
I left those sins a few cities back
Some stories should not be retold
But the witnesses won't decompose
And the victems are pestilent ghosts
Have I lost my touch or do back doors moan
a little louder than when I was young?
These days I have more to hide
But those secrets are mine
They're mine. Those secrets are mine
Though lack of heart we know no ache. Never forget the things you've done
Just hold on to those mistakes
I don't ask to be redeemed
Just stay away from me, let me find peace
Just stay away from me, let me find peace
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
Where were you when the consequence came calling?
Where were you when I laid down my arms?
I've yet to explore a course you have not charted
but I will bring down the body count
I'll bring down the body count
I'll bring down the body count
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
Some stories should not be retold
But the witnesses won't decompose
And the victems are pestilent ghosts
Have I lost my touch or do back doors moan
a little louder than when I was young?
These days I have more to hide
But those secrets are mine
They're mine. Those secrets are mine
Though lack of heart we know no ache. Never forget the things you've done
Just hold on to those mistakes
I don't ask to be redeemed
Just stay away from me, let me find peace
Just stay away from me, let me find peace
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
Where were you when the consequence came calling?
Where were you when I laid down my arms?
I've yet to explore a course you have not charted
but I will bring down the body count
I'll bring down the body count
I'll bring down the body count
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
I'm an old face in a new town
A stranger in a familiar place
where everyone knows my name and I can't escape
