lyrics

Hold me back from that great quiet
That has swallowed all my friends
Who sleep now from the sleeping gas of pious men.

Let every myth of my holiness
Be consumed by all my sins,
Till I know no sacred name to name the absence within.

I’d rather pray for enemies
Than to pray for fickle friends,
Whose kindness is a judgement
On all my wrestling.

I only long to prove you wrong,
I only long to sin.
To break with words of virtue
With fear and trembling.

All I want from heaven’s court
Is a ship and steady crew,
A blessing and a promise
For wherever the hell I’m off to
That if my ship should come back again,
Let my brothers’ anger burn with him
For the finest calf you saved and spend on my prodigal return.

Each collar shows a peddler
Selling answers they can’t hold,
A future that’s too bright to tell,
A memory that’s too old.

My blood runs thin like snake oil,
Heaven’s breath smells more like gin,
Each icon keeps on pointing
To an idol that I kiss.

Nathan Evans Fox Nashville, Tennessee

Born and raised in western North Carolina, Nathan Evans Fox writes songs that sound the way gas stations feel. When it comes to Nathan’s approach, Americana Highways writes, “It’s not cornpone, it’s not alt-country, country-western, or pop-country. Fox has a solid hold on a serious genre of country seldom covered by many artists. It cuts through the commerciality of country music.”
