St. Alexius 04:16
You and your shaking hands With their future at stake Built a beautiful stage On this piece of rotten earth And all the actors practiced Day in and day out Reciting lines and hitting marks All while sinking down These are not my hands On these hospital doors The ancient seating, the older magazines And we waited while you fought back While you fought back so well Your jaw and your shaking hands Were both clenched as we watched you Holding back all emotion That dared to show on your face When you left your father’s house “I’ll be back in seventeen years. I won’t go far I promise, I’ll be underneath your feet.” These are not my hands On these hospital doors The ancient seating, the older magazines And we waited while you fought back While you fought back so well And we waited while you fought back While you fought back so well We all screamed St. Alexius, St. Alexius Here we are St. Alexius, St. Alexius We all screamed St. Alexius, St. Alexius Come save us Here we are St. Alexius, St. Alexius Come save us Come save us

Yeah this is all muscle memory Sure feels like we’ve been here before Yeah this is all muscle memory Everything’s been done before, everything’s been done before Nerves exposed like roadkill guts Pacing the cage like I’m meant to Free to make the mistakes I make That I never wanted to Yeah this is all muscle memory Sure feels like we’ve been here before Yeah this is all muscle memory Everything’s been done before, everything’s been done before And it’s late but the sun’s coming up And I’m never quite certain When too late becomes too early Either way, shut it down for now Yeah this is all muscle memory Sure feels like we’ve been here before Yeah this is all muscle memory Everything’s been done before, everything’s been done before We don’t make the future We just stumble into it X6 Yeah this is all muscle memory Sure feels like we’ve been here before Yeah this is all muscle memory Everything’s been done before, every song’s been sung before Everything’s been done before, every song’s been sung before

I held a candle and I let it burn Down, down to my fingers To prove the system works A face built of copper And some time well spent Returning the favor to see the system works Well maybe you shouldn’t go that far away I might just need you here, I might need a break Slipping and falling we never saw it coming But I was optimistic as I felt it break The lines on the road All blur into one A useful euphemism for how the system works Still searching for proof In the fossils we found A pointed finger at how the system works Well maybe you shouldn’t go that far away I might just need you here, I might need a break Slipping and falling we never saw it coming But I was optimistic as I felt it break Still feeling like a stranger With no history here A painful reminder of how the system works These buildings spring forth From such fertile ground We won’t be happy until the system works Well maybe you shouldn’t go that far away I might just need you here, I might need a break Slipping and falling we never saw it coming But I was optimistic as I felt it break

Grand Forks 04:44
In knee deep snow we were happy enough We were happy to grow so old May we drown in the lake, may we drown in the wake Drown a mile from the shore I’d be happy with you in the hills of Hollywood And I’d be happy with you at a Days Inn in Grand Forks I took my shots, now you take yours I cut my teeth, now you cut yours I paid my dues, now you pay yours I said my piece, now you say yours Cuz everything needs something else To push back against Watch the wind and the water Watch the wind and the trees Watch you push against me I’d be happy with you in the hills of Hollywood And I’d be happy with you at a Days Inn in Grand Forks I took my shots, now you take yours I cut my teeth, now you cut yours I paid my dues, now you pay yours I said my piece, now you say yours I took my shots, now you take yours I cut my teeth, now you cut yours I paid my dues, now you pay yours I said my piece, now you say yours
