so glad to see you well
overcome and completely silent now
without himself
you cast your demons out
and not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you off your cloud
but I'm more than just curious
how you're planning to go about
making your amends to the dead
... to the dead

recall the deeds as if
they're all someone elses
atrocious stories
now you stand reborn before us all
so glad to see you well

and not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you to the ground
but I'm more than just curious
how you're planning to go about
making your amends to the dead
... to the dead

with your halo slipping down
your halo slipping
your halo slipping down
your halo slipping down
your halo slipping down(repeated)

your halo slipping down to choke you now
Thirteenth Step

One of my favorites on this album. The lyrics mean a lot to me and they blend in with the instruments very well. Along with the catchy chorus, this song makes it to my top 3 songs on this album. APC performs this song great live, too.

Fucking awesome song! Seeing it live made it more amazing. Definitely one of their best, but almost didn't make it on the album. Thankfully it did.

This is my absolute favorite by APC. I have to agree that 3 Libras gives it some competition but, this one wins. Its such an aggressive but...calm song. I love it

Dude, a good song writer(such as Maynard) can make a song that relates to who ever hears it. It doesn't matter what it's about unless that's what your interested in. If tha words mean something else to someone else, then they relate.

I am a Tool and APC fan and I must say...this is one of the best songs I've heard. This album is one of those I can play from start to finish and it never gets boring. Pet, Weak and Powerless, The Noose, Blue, the whole CD is spectacular but I believe this song and Pet take the cake.

I'm not really a big fan of anti-religious songs (too pretentious a lot of the time) but this song is much more universal than that. I can relate whenever I think of all the liars and such I've ever come across, that's what it's about to me.
