I was raised on a dirt road 
Ghost town, stray dogs
Whole nine, the gold mine closed down 
I knew the woods like the back of my hand 
And i would shoot the breeze 
With the roots and trees 
I'd go by the river 
And watch the way the devil dances 
But never took his hand 
Even though i did have several chances 
Everybody slept 
When the morning dew turned to frost 
Darkness moved in 
And somebody burned a cross 
A girl named stella cuwin 
Was prettier than you`d imagine 
The town should've given her the crown 
For the beauty pageant 
But instead 
Some local pinhead started spreading rumors 
About the cuwins being inbreds 
And what's worse, people believed it 
Cause the family was dirt poor 
And down on their luck
So that made it hurt more 
Picking up garbage and mowing the grass 
At this point stella stopped going to class 
You know how they ridicule a kid in school 
And this shit's enough 
To make anybody feel like a misfit 
She made herself invisible 
And hid inside a house of mirrors 
Whenever the fear stops
So did the tear drops 
But fear is forever
And lies become legend 
And eventually growing
Slowly, exponentially 
She should've been a cover girl
Treated like a princess 
But she's an enigma
Haunted by the stigma of incest 

She tried to hide the scars
Her name reminds me of the stars 
I saw diamonds divide 
In the corners of her eyes 

She tried to hide the scars
Her name reminds me of the stars 
I saw diamonds divide 
In the corners of her eyes 

One horse town 
Known for the most softness 
Little old schoolhouse
Burned down post office 
Blueberries and bulrushes 
A tree with a tire swing 
Volunteer fireman's fair
The whole entire thing 
Stella was heartbroken
Decided to start smoking 
Bad taste in her mouth
She grew into a sad face 
Her few friends were worried 
But her parents were always pround of her 
But she never escaped from under the cloud cover 
A woman reduced
She was eaten by a monster 
And after all these years
The past, it still haunts her
It whispers her name 
When she's trying instead 
To just listen to music 
While she's lying in bed 
Now the story of stella 
Is one that every child knows 
But the witch in the woods 
Is more like a wild rose 

She tried to hide the scars
Her name reminds me of the stars 
I saw diamonds divide 
In the corners of her eyes 

She tried to hide the scars
Her name reminds me of the stars 
I saw diamonds divide 
In the corners of her eyes
