Stella

I was raised on a dirt road

Ghost town, stray dogs

Whole nine, the gold mine closed down

I knew the woods like the back of my hand

And i would shoot the breeze

With the roots and trees

I'd go by the river

And watch the way the devil dances

But never took his hand

Even though i did have several chances

Everybody slept

When the morning dew turned to frost

Darkness moved in

And somebody burned a cross

A girl named stella cuwin

Was prettier than you`d imagine

The town should've given her the crown

For the beauty pageant

But instead

Some local pinhead started spreading rumors

About the cuwins being inbreds

And what's worse, people believed it

Cause the family was dirt poor

And down on their luck

So that made it hurt more

Picking up garbage and mowing the grass

At this point stella stopped going to class

You know how they ridicule a kid in school

And this shit's enough

To make anybody feel like a misfit

She made herself invisible

And hid inside a house of mirrors

Whenever the fear stops

So did the tear drops

But fear is forever

And lies become legend

And eventually growing

Slowly, exponentially

She should've been a cover girl

Treated like a princess

But she's an enigma

Haunted by the stigma of incest

She tried to hide the scars

Her name reminds me of the stars

I saw diamonds divide

In the corners of her eyes

She tried to hide the scars

Her name reminds me of the stars

I saw diamonds divide

In the corners of her eyes

One horse town

Known for the most softness

Little old schoolhouse

Burned down post office

Blueberries and bulrushes

A tree with a tire swing

Volunteer fireman's fair

The whole entire thing

Stella was heartbroken

Decided to start smoking

Bad taste in her mouth

She grew into a sad face

Her few friends were worried

But her parents were always pround of her

But she never escaped from under the cloud cover

A woman reduced

She was eaten by a monster

And after all these years

The past, it still haunts her

It whispers her name

When she's trying instead

To just listen to music

While she's lying in bed

Now the story of stella

Is one that every child knows

But the witch in the woods

Is more like a wild rose

She tried to hide the scars

Her name reminds me of the stars

I saw diamonds divide

In the corners of her eyes

She tried to hide the scars

Her name reminds me of the stars

I saw diamonds divide

In the corners of her eyes
