Appalachian Scream lyrics
(Feltenberger, Yashinsky)

We live for the mountains
Cause the mountains give us life
But the pits were too inviting
And they stripped away our lives

If I could holler from this hollow
For just a little help
I m sure the neighbors would come running
Just to see for them selves

And I don t give a damn
If you don t understand

(Chorus)
Cause I hear the voices calling
They re sending me a warning about you
Is it a haunting song from a familiar dream
Or just an Appalachian scream

We re neighbors we re not friends
I don t trust them a bit
Call it baseless paranoia
Or the way that we live

We re all escaping something
But we re blind to what it is
If I d turn my back he d kill me
And I d do the same to him

And I don t give a damn
If you don t understand

(Chorus)

I built this shit from nothing
I brought it up with love
Considering what I got now
It s still not very much

After 20 years time s forgotten me
And I wish it all the same
But they re knocking at my neighbors door
And soon they ll call my name

(Chorus)
