lyrics

overcommit the crime
innocence standing by
a single witness
victim left to lie
Louisiana street
a landscape worn and beat
another sermon
a cold routine unseen

I couldn’t say it wasn’t true
a mercenary losing sight of you
I couldn’t say it wasn’t hard
to cut the ties that bind
forging a new start

fence line cedar post
climb through southern ghost
still of water but not enough to drink
how could this Eden call anyone at all
petrochemical refineries of steam

I couldn’t say it wasn’t true
a mercenary losing sight of you
I couldn’t say it wasn’t hard
to cut the ties that bind
forging a new start

father picture window Mercedes Benz
outside slam door screaming canal backs up
and flows out into the sea
Mobile Bay lighthouse
Sand Island Spring eternal
Dauphin Island tidal breaches
other ways to say the same thing
nothing has to remain the same
you can count on it that it won’t
honestly you’re never going to feel this way again
I promise you’ll never make your way out of this land
