Alexisonfire - The Kennedy Curse

"The Kennedy Curse"
Album: Alexisonfire (2002)

Take this blood from my veins
And paint me a masterpiece of a parade...
A parade of the dead sun.

Writing
(Writing this letter to you)
This letter to you.

(By way of paper scars and pictures frames)

(Of all you left behind)

(Bleeds into red)

[Wade in background:]
In. In the. The ground. In the ground. In the ground. In the ground. The ground.

Put the dead Kennedy in the ground.
In the ground. In the ground.
The name does not live on.
Not live on!
