This is upside down
this is pouring sugar over
and I won't drink this draft i've made
Can we keep this up,
new homes on old foundations?
But you're miles away from me
I'm so heavy with this
but heaven forbids I give this up
so whenever you sleep you'll hear it
as slow waves are carbonated
snow-covered stones will lead you in
I unearth this town
brush sand and chisel ash and ground
til ghosts are on display
Then they all return
each night, the thieves, to take and burn
and bury again
So whenever you dream you'll hear it
as soft pains are excavated
snow-covered stones will lead you in
the dead language of the dead-again

Summer I'm waiting
scratching out those numbers on my wall
still as stone but still you never call me
Stanley's drunk on favors from the crown
Still you watch him cast me down
Dig it up
and fix it so it'll never leak again
even when the sun returns it never ends
Stand if you're with me
we'll leave these aisles of wolves in martyr's clothes
steady as she goes
Dig it up
and fix it so it'll never leak again
even when the sun returns it never ends
collect it at the bottom and we'll mend
Please breath
I know I can't do this on my own
alone again

Now that you got what you wanted
I walk these streets you haunted
and wonder aloud
Is it a star that you're born with?
To pierce the night then fade
it's the wrong way out
Now you're chapter's done
but something splits the air so hard
I can feel it
You can't breathe fire and not
taste the edge of words that burn
when you bleed them out
Why dig up what I've been through
and play it up to be like you
I wonder?
Who is this demon you speak to?
Who pokes the holes you peek through and vapor out?
Another chapter done
and something shakes the air so hard
I believe it
You can't breathe fire and not
taste the edge of words that burn
when you leave them out

Played a gig with them 20 years ago and never forgot how amazing it was. This album encapsulates the best of that time and place, and continues to inspire me.

Miracle Legion, led by the legend himself, is a diamond glimpsed by few but cherished by those who have had the pleasure of holding it a while. So many memories tied to this one.
