Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found it wedged in tar
Under a crate of rope
Salt in the spine
Ink bleeding through the hope
My father cut his lines
Before the dawn got bright
Said, read it on the deck
Then toss it to the night
First page: broken names
A date torn in half
A hand that shook so hard
It left the paper cracked
[Pre-Chorus]
He wrote, “I was no saint”
Still, they knelt like rain
Touched the scarlet word
And called him by his pain
[Chorus]
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
They prayed my ruin clean
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
What kind of god was me? (what kind of god was me?)
[Verse 2]
He docked in dead-end towns
With blood on his cuffs
Men with empty jaws
Girls who’d had enough
They drank his honest lies
Like medicine in a cup
If you are already wrecked
A wreck can lift you up
He said, “I built a throne
Out of what I lost”
“Every face I saved
Was another kind of cost”
[Pre-Chorus]
He wrote, “I was no saint”
Still, they knelt like rain
Touched the scarlet word
And called him by his pain
[Chorus]
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
They prayed my ruin clean
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
What kind of god was me? (what kind of god was me?)
[Bridge]
Then came the storm wall
And the mast snapped twice
The journal hit the sea
Like a small black life
I turned the last page slow
With the net still wet
My father looked away
Like he already knew regret
It said, “If you read this
Don’t worship what broke”
“Give your hands to the living”
“Let the dead keep their smoke”
[Final Chorus]
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
I won’t kneel to the sea
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
I’ll be the boy you leave (I’ll be the boy you leave)
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
I’ll carry what he wrote
Saint of sinners
Saint of sinners
And let the broken go (let the broken go)
