God's Blind Spot

[Verse 1]
(A cappella)
Lord, it's a spool of number-two copper
Sittin' by the slag pit fence
(Instruments enter)
My headlamp catches on the shimmer
It don't make a lick of sense

[Chorus]
So if you're lookin' down on Gary, turn your head a little bit
Let me stand inside your blind spot, just long enough to get
This blessing to a better man whose engine's running rough
In this rusted-out cathedral, where good is never good enough

[Verse 2]
I saw Sully by the time clock, that hollow in his eyes
His wife is back on treatment, another shift, another lie
He said, "The gasket's blown on my whole life," smelled like clean-room on his coat
Just a hairline fracture from the end of his rope

[Chorus]
So if you're lookin' down on Gary, turn your head a little bit
Let me stand inside your blind spot, just long enough to get
This blessing to a better man whose engine's running rough
In this rusted-out cathedral, where good is never good enough

[Bridge]
I know what the foreman would tell me, I know what the Good Book says too
But I don't see either of 'em down here checkin' on the graveyard crew

[Outro]
The coil feels heavy in my hands
Heavier than sin
