lyrics

and it comes back to me
that sleepy little town I couldn't wait to leave
the house my father built a foreign deity
and heartbreak ridge probably buried under trees.

when the sun is low
i trace the dirt rows back to where the mountains grow
and i settled in a tender spot where heaven lets the angels flow
so when a song is all i've got i'm not the one that has to sing

i was on the mend
the light came down and i could feel my body bend
but i melted in a dream that was only going to fade to black
so then i tip the bottle back like it was going to set me free

and then i'm swaying east
cuz the barley grinds have never left me gracefully
and i don't want to die so i drink to sleep
cuz who can bear the weight of death if god's not waiting in the wings

and so the story’s torn
and it folds back on itself until it's cruciform
and i'm under lake champlain before it's gotten warm
drowning at the holy door to see if i can make it in this time
but if it's all for naught
then we're praying to a temple that we haven't got
and sleeping while the city rots
we all have paper in the wall
i prayed the dome would never fall
and if the stone would live again
It wouldn't cure my slow eternal sin
