Church

[00:13.134] I need a short drink or a long prayer
[00:15.397] I've been sober, but I don't care
[00:17.146] I'm so scared of my own self
[00:18.703] I get no help, and that's no fair
[00:20.412] So don't go there, I've been hell and back
[00:22.141] I got scorched hair in this Gucci cap
[00:23.837] I got empty bottles and a million follows
[00:25.597] I regret swallowing the Ativan
[00:27.507] F!ck it, let's be real
[00:29.003] I resent the way that I feel
[00:31.010] I pretend that it's cool, but I miss getting drunk
[00:32.891] And I'm angry that God doesn't help when I kneel
[00:34.790] F!ck it, I said my prayers
[00:36.219] When I got cleaned, sh!t just got worse
[00:38.170] I quit doing drugs, and I pleaded with Jesus to save me
[00:40.373] But he didn't hear my words
[00:41.563] This sh!t don't work, it hurts
[00:43.039] I went to church, now I need liquid courage
[00:45.400] Whiskey in my glass, I take the knives out of my back to stir it
[00:48.962] Go to hell and back again, then show you burns to prove I earned it
[00:52.246] I need shots or God to gain the strength I need, I'm just a person
[00:55.838] I pray on my way
[00:58.631] To the liquor store that they locked the doors
[01:02.294] 'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[01:05.697] If the whiskey pours like it did before
[01:09.184] I'm scared, I send out a prayer
[01:12.157] Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there?
[01:15.741] 'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worst
[01:19.221] I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church
[01:24.217] I keep talking to God, but He don't hear me
[01:27.700] And my demons are there, always listening
[01:31.152] I get lost in the dark, drowning in whiskey
[01:34.593] And I went in so far, you say you miss me
[01:38.069] I'm on a ship in a bottle, so say goodbye at the shore
[01:41.772] Break the glass and you'll find me, I'm not who I was before
[01:45.120] Close my eyes in the darkness and hold on through the storm
[01:48.721] I'm a wreck in a bottle, I wasn't built for a war
[01:52.356] These church pews
[01:54.182] Bright lights, whiskey glasses, bottles of booze
[01:59.427] Make short days to long nights
[02:02.957] The bottle, the Bible, I didn't know what to choose
[02:05.715] I pray on my way
[02:08.877] To the liquor store that they locked the doors
[02:12.455] 'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[02:15.680] If the whiskey pours like it did before
[02:19.220] I'm scared, I send out a prayer
[02:22.235] Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there?
[02:25.714] 'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worst
[02:29.206] I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church
[02:33.830] I can't read, but the Bible's still with me
[02:40.518] My eyes can't see from the bottles of whiskey
[02:47.363] I don't believe anybody will miss me
[02:54.249] And I'm on my knees, tell me, God, are You listening?
[03:01.758] I pray on my way
[03:04.631] To the liquor store that they locked the doors
[03:08.384] 'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[03:11.804] If the whiskey pours like it did before
[03:15.364] I'm scared, I send out a prayer
[03:18.401] Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there?
[03:21.735] 'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worst
[03:25.361] I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church
