True Believer

Tourists stumble down Broadway
Cumberland keeps claiming bodies
All our best memories 
Were bought and then turned into apartments
The club with all the hardcore shows
Now just a greyscale Dominos 
The churches overflow each Sunday greedy Sunday morning 

Gift shop in the lobby
Act like God ain’t watching 
Kill the soul, turn a profit 
What lives on? Southern Gotham

I’m the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 

With my belief

And I’m the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 

Cause I’m a true believer

They put up chainlink fences underneath the biggest bridges
They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all the children
They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
So they don’t have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them

The South will not rise again
Til it’s paid for every sin 
Strange fruit, hard bargain
Till the roots, Southern Gotham

I’m the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 

With my belief

And I’m the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 

Cause I’m a true believer

I’m the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 

With my belief

And I’m the one who still loves your ghost

I reanimate your bones 

Cause I’m a true believer
