Bacchus 04:48
Joshua judges Ruth, and I am told that there is truth In every word, and His word is the Word Closed my eyes and had a vision, the Messiah was a pigeon Never noticed 'cause he never said Hello Eve's the one that ate the apple, that was only half the battle God said, "Son, you've gotta live with your mistakes" "Hey," said the snake, "you were broken before you ever had the chance to break yourself" I'm a liar with addictions More convictions than you'll ever know Kicking salt across the pavement Leaving footprints in the blank white snow All that you see is all you'll ever be "Bacchus drowned more men than Neptune" Etched across the stall wall of a public restroom I wish that I had found the words before you tried to end your life, too soon The bottle neck's a pinhole from the bottom's point-of-view But if a ship can fit, then I've got faith that you can, too Pull through Take it from me, it's not your fault We're fucked-up from the start Never had a chance

Coal Hill 05:00
The day the steel in our city shined The clouds were cast and silver-lined Stories stacked like vertebrae of a spine Her backbone caught my eye The day the skies gave us hell From thunderclouds, her rage fell The Mon Wharf was swallowed by water swells In a malignant atmosphere In bustling spans of concrete land Her exoskeleton built by man Blood and sweat of our fathers' hands An empire of steel For those no longer bound by time The day the steel in our city shined The gears of industry began to grind Expansion, at what cost? Black smoke emitted into the sky It clouded our thoughts, it clouded our eyes Bodies formed of white chalk lines Danced on asphalt graves What have I become this time? I know where I'm from, and I can't forget You said I've changed, I'll be damned if I didn't I'd be ashamed if I had stayed as ignorant as you It's true, I'm a better man for it It's true, thank you I'm a better man Last train rolls through the south side of town Bars on Carson, all closed down Three sisters are staring at the glass castle's crown Got my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground I'm a better man for it

Replacements 05:04
Summer cicadas scream in the front yard Like missiles moving toward their target I close my left eye, squint, flick lit cigarette Send it sparking toward the city In an instant, I am all that matters Tonight, city lights swallow the stars to form their own constellations And I'm the one the needle on your compass keeps facing Yeah, I'm the star the needle on your compass is facing You kept me quiet like a canary in a coal mine In my mind, I had respect for the old times Pointing at the moon was left for those not brave enough to reach And I can rile, rage like riots, clamoring in crowded streets Summer cicadas scream in the front yard Like missiles moving towards the target When histories' locusts come to swarm I'll be the storm that rocks you to sleep In an instant, I am all that matters Tonight, city lights swallow the stars to form their own constellations And I'm the one the needle on your compass keeps facing Yeah, I'm the star the needle on your compass is facing I hope you remember the boy I was And respect the man I am I am all that matters
