I carry a curse
I'm a blanket that you don't need
I carry a pox, a plague
And I know you'd rather freeze

It never gets easier to accept the truth
It never gets easier to accept who I am

I can't conquer myself
The south has won the war
Slavery is ordinary
And my master is a whore

It never gets easier to win this disgusting contest
It never gets easier to win this crooked competition

Dim the lights for me
We don't know the difference between
Miserable and ugly
Beautiful and happy
Dim the lights for me

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

Dim the lights for me
We don't know the difference between
Miserable and ugly
Beautiful and happy
Dim the lights for me

One last thought:
I'm in a box that I built
There is no lock
Still there's no way out
