[Intro] Ready for part two whispered narrator In a town where everyone’s got two sides Evil and good (motherfuck voice) Dead Town [Verse 1] The chapel burned at noon Still smelled like rain Old men sold their halos For a pocket full of change Kids learned how to lie Before they learned to pray And every front door hid a face That wouldn't stay the same [Pre-Chorus] You hear it in the alley You see it in the schoolyard One hand for the blessing One hand on the scar They smile when you watch them Then they turn away This town keeps two shadows On the same damn day [Chorus] Dead Town Dead Town (Dead Town) Two sides in one mouth Dead Town Dead Town (Dead Town) It bites when it speaks out loud [Verse 2] Maggie at the diner With the saint sign on her chest Counting up the secrets She never could confess Bobby at the corner With a Bible and a blade Saying he was chosen While he sold out the brave [Pre-Chorus] You hear it in the alley You see it in the schoolyard One hand for the blessing One hand on the scar They smile when you watch them Then they turn away This town keeps two shadows On the same damn day [Chorus] Dead Town Dead Town (Dead Town) Two sides in one mouth Dead Town Dead Town (Dead Town) It bites when it speaks out loud [Bridge] And I saw my own face In a cloud of smoke Half of me was lonely Half of me was broke So I walked to the edge Let the whole town stare You want the dirty truth? You gotta bleed it bare [Final Chorus] Dead Town Dead Town (Dead Town) Two sides in one mouth Dead Town Dead Town (Dead Town) It bites when it speaks out loud Dead Town Dead Town (Dead Town) Nobody leaves clean now
