The Grease and the Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Oil stains on the concrete floor
I don't work here anymore
But the scars remain on my skin
Counting every single sin
Wrench is heavy in my grip
Watch the silver solder drip
[Pre-Chorus]
I know how to make it run
Underneath the dying sun
But I’m lost inside the wires
Tending to these old desires
[Chorus]
It’s the grease and the grace
Trying to find my place
Mending what I tore apart
Welding back a broken heart
Yeah, it’s the work of the soul
Trying to make the pieces whole
[Post-Chorus]
Low light, street grit
I ain't gonna quit
No, I ain't gonna quit
[Verse]
Crumpled flyer from the pew
Thinking 'bout the ghost of you
Teenage eyes like frozen glass
Watching all the seasons pass
Half an engine on the stand
Blood is drying on my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
I can fix a rusted frame
But I can't erase the shame
Spark plugs firing in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
[Chorus]
It’s the grease and the grace
Trying to find my place
Mending what I tore apart
Welding back a broken heart
Yeah, it’s the work of the soul
Trying to make the pieces whole
[Bridge]
Upright bass begins to moan
I was built of steel and bone
Gospel humming in my chest
Give the weary spirit rest
Turn the bolt and set it right
Through the middle of the night
[Hook]
Fix the frayed, fix the worn
Better than the day 'twas born
Fix the frayed, fix the worn
[Chorus]
It’s the grease and the grace
Trying to find my place
Mending what I tore apart
Welding back a broken heart
Yeah, it’s the work of the soul
Trying to make the pieces whole
[Outro]
