KUDZU PHANTOM

I'm the kudzu phantom creeping through your town tonight spreading like a virus, choking out your city lights started in the backwoods, now I'm everywhere you look Written in the shadows of your childhood storybook

They tried to cut me down but I just grew back stronger roots run deeper than you thought, vines stretch longer covering your memories, consuming what you built Southern gothic nightmare wrapped in backwoods guilt

Can't stop the spread, can't kill the growth I'm the phantom that you fear the most Kudzu phantom taking hold Watch your perfect world unfold

Kudzu phantom in the night Strangling dreams in broad daylight What you planted, I'll consume Turn your garden to my tomb

Kudzu phantom, can't be stopped From the bottom to the top Invasive species of your mind Leave your sanity behind

From the trailer park to mansion, I don't discriminate Rich or poor, I'll wrap around and seal your fate telephone poles to church steeples, nothing's safe from me I'm the green apocalypse that you were meant to see

Your subdivision's drowning in my emerald embrace every fence post tells the story written on my face southern comfort turned to horror in the summer heat feel my tendrils 'round your ankles, taste that bittersweet

Spanish moss and kudzu vines blurring all the county lines what was yours is mine to claim nothing ever stays the same

In the humid southern air I'm the nightmare everywhere Phantom of the overgrown Make this wasteland feel like home

Kudzu phantom in the night Strangling dreams in broad daylight what you planted, I'll consume turn your garden to my tomb

Kudzu phantom, can't be stopped from the bottom to the top Invasive species in your head Leave you wishing you were dead

"The kudzu phantom... always growing...""Never dying... always knowing...""In the South... we never leave...""What you sow... you will receive..."
