Monongah, WV Lyrics
Parking lots
Shopping malls
Empty hours
And you
Lonely wives
Weighing down
Feeling fine
Oh my god
I don't want to go home
You said
After schools
Union dues
And you
And you
Torn apart
Sinking low
Feeling fine
Oh my god
I don't want to go home
You said
Shopping malls
Empty hours
And you
Lonely wives
Weighing down
Feeling fine
Oh my god
I don't want to go home
You said
After schools
Union dues
And you
And you
Torn apart
Sinking low
Feeling fine
Oh my god
I don't want to go home
You said
And you
And you
And you

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
This song is an interpretation of a true story about twin brothers, both coal miners in West Virginia.
One brother died in the great collapse in Monongah in 1907.
The other lived on, and eventually died in another collapse years later.
A song about how trivial 90% of what we do with our lives are. A song about losing a part of yourself. A song about survivors guilt and ultimately choosing to die yourself to be reunited with the ones you love.
