This is the Holler I was Forged in.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Mama marked the doorframe
Each birthday
Chipped white paint
Said
"Stand up straight for Jesus"
Pulled my shoulders
Fixed my face
Sunday shoes on splintered floorboards
Laces tied in double knots
I learned to bow at empty corners
Like someone watched a lot
[Chorus]
Cicadas in the choir
Singin' through the screen porch wire
All those little buzzing prayers
Stuck between the rafters and the air
I was countin' every crack
In the ceiling painted black
While the voices rose higher
Higher
Cicadas in the choir
[Verse 2]
Daddy rang the supper bell
Three times
Never two
Fold your hands
Don't lift your eyes
"Boy
The Lord is seein' you"
We blessed the peas
The gravel drive
The belt hung by the door
Said grace for sins not yet invented
Knelt till both my knees were sore
[Chorus]
Cicadas in the choir
Singin' through the screen porch wire
All those little buzzing prayers
Stuck between the rafters and the air
I was countin' every crack
In the ceiling painted black
While the voices rose higher
Higher
Cicadas in the choir
[Bridge]
[whispered]
She said
"Don't open that closet"
But I did
On Friday night
Found a suit that smelled like river
And a picture burned half white
I heard names they never mentioned
Soft as dust on window glass
Heard my own said like a warning
Heard
"You ain't the first
Won't be the last" (shh)
[Chorus]
Cicadas in the choir
Singin' through the screen porch wire
All those little buzzing prayers
Stuck between the rafters and the air
I was countin' every crack
In the ceiling painted black
While the voices rose higher
Higher
Cicadas in the choir
[Outro]
Harmonium holdin' one thin note
Cicadas scraping at my throat
Front yard swing
Just one slow creak
And me
Still kneelin'
Scared to speak
Повторяем попытку...
