Crooked Spine Lyrics by Covey

Class Of Cardinal Sin

2021

[Verse 1]
Hey Mrs. Crooked Spine walking ominously
Swingin' right leg after left
You're drinking bottle after bottle of uncertainty it seems
But you've had metal rods put in your back
So show them what that means
Yeah, your ex-lover owes you money
And I don't think he's coming through
'Cause he's a scumbag alcoholic, lost his way at 22
He's a spineless ordinary without a single rod to hold his back up straight
[Refrain]
Stop acting like you don't deserve happiness
[Verse 2]
I saw you trapped inside a cave as I was resting on a hill
Hans was in there with you too, the water rising for the kill
I tried to pull you out but couldn't gеt you through that two-foot gap
I walked away and paced in panic, I wasn't sure of what to do
Thе dead moss resting by an isolated boulder was a clue
Sometimes there's no way out
Sometimes you drown with loved ones there to watch
[Refrain]
Stop feeling like you were never important to me
[Chorus]
Strong spine Sammy Jane
You're lighting your whole world on fire
Beat up and bruised like you used to be
S-shaped vertebrae
You've got stories to tell the world
Don't be so scared to tell them what you've been through
[Verse 3]
I'm sure you're fed up with the distance
As much as me, and if not more
But we don't show that much resistance
Never settled up a score
Maybe we're cold and somewhat callous
From all the bullshit we've endured
Like growing up around addiction
That leaves you screaming at the walls
As we deliberate between letting it ring and picking up the calls
To a slurred out conversation filled with shame and brutal self-deprecation
[Refrain]
Stop talking like you don't deserve anything
[Chorus]
Strong spine Sammy Jane
You're lighting your whole world on fire
Beat up and bruised like you used to be
S-shaped Vertebrae
You've got stories to tell the world
Don't be so scared to tell them what you've been through
[Post-Chorus]
I know I wasn't good to you
When we were growing up
And I blame myself for doing damage to your confidence
I wish I could take it back
Despite how much we've overcome
I was such an angry child
But that's no excuse to lean on
[Outro]
You worried endlessly for days
About the scar upon your back
I said that scar was something special
No matter how some kids react
You have spinal reinforcement
So you get out there and show them what that means
