First Light on the Crest

[Intro] Low string talking under breath Fresh paint drying on a borrowed crest Old dust riding on my boots again I hear an empty stand learning how to bend [Verse 1] I have worn the noise, I have worn the crown I have heard my name get smaller in another town Now the room is raw and the rafters show But there is grass enough for one more ghost to grow [Pre-Chorus] Tie it tight, step across Nothing new comes without a cost [Chorus] First light on the crest Old scar under the thread I am not done yet I am not done yet Give me one more field Give me one more breath First light on the crest I am not done yet [Verse 2] They can count the years, they can check the pace They can say the fire left my face But a city with no song needs a throat to start And a weathered little spark can still split the dark [Building] Beat by beat, the bare walls shake Voice by voice, the first chants wake [Chorus] First light on the crest Old scar under the thread I am not done yet I am not done yet Give me one more field Give me one more breath First light on the crest I am not done yet [Guitar Solo] [Sparse Breakdown] I was afraid the door had closed Afraid my name was only smoke Then I heard the quiet in that place Waiting for a voice to make it home [Full band slam back in] [Final Chorus] First light on the crest Old scar under the thread We are not done yet We are not done yet Raise it from the field Raise it from the chest First light on the crest We are not done yet [Outro] Low string fades but the room holds fast New shirt, old scar, first song at last
