One Conspiracy

from Head in a Box by Head in a Box

lyrics

Father when we last spoke, you hadn’t woken up that day
I left you alone to show the others another way
Myself and the siblings, four living, to one we pray

There was one contingency
But it’s all the same to you

Dissolving yourself in alcohol and conspiracies
Cabal of sons and daughter as the evening breaks

There’s one conspiracy
And it had to do with you

Listened to wars of information
While your youngest bathed

Rantings of mad men spelled damnation
What’d they have to say?

There’s one conspiracy
And that conspiracy is true

You, You know, we all know
No hiding from scum like you
All those times,
No, don’t say I’m not haunted

When she drowned
You blamed all the things they taught you to blame
To take your eye off your own soul

We had a mother once,
You gave her a wedding ring

Now she’s not home because this, that or the other thing

There’s one conspiracy
And it has to do with you

She never said goodbye
And it wasn’t like her to up and flake

Looking back through time
We were raised by a fucking snake

There's one conspiracy
That conspiracy

There’s one conspiracy
That conspiracy is you
