"Church"

I need a short drink or a long prayer

I been sober but I don't care

I'm so scared of my own self

I get no help and that's no fair

So don't go there, I been hell and back

I got scorched hair in this Gucci cap

I got empty bottles and a million follows

I'll regret swallowing the Ativan

Fuck it, let's be real

I resent the way that I feel

I pretend that it's cool but I miss getting drunk

And I'm angry that God doesn't help when I kneel

Fuck it, I said my prayers

When I got clean, shit just got worse

I quit doing drugs and I pleaded with Jesus to save me

But he didn't hear my words

This shit don't work, it hurts

I went to church, now I need liquid courage

Whiskey in my glass, I take the knives

Out of my back to stir it

Go to hell and back again

Then show you burns to prove I earned it

I need shots or God to gain the strength I need

I'm just a person

I've prayed on my way

To the liquor store that they'd lock the door

'Cause I'll lay in my grave

If the whiskey pours like it did before

I'm scared, I send out a prayer

Can anybody hear me, is anybody there

'Cause honestly it hurts, and every day is worse

I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church

I keep talking to God but he don't hear me

And my demons are there always listening

I get lost in the dark, drowning in whiskey

And I went in so far you say you miss me

I'm on a ship in a bottle so say goodbye at the shore

Break the glass and you'll find me, I'm not who I was before

Close my eyes in the darkness and hold onto the storm

I'm a wreck in a bottle, I wasn't built for war

Those church pews, bright lights

Whiskey glasses, bottles of booze

Make short days turn long nights

The bottle, the bible, I didn't know what to choose

I've prayed on my way

To the liquor store that they'd lock the door

'Cause I'll lay in my grave

If the whiskey pours like it did before

I'm scared, I send out a prayer

Can anybody hear me, is anybody there

'Cause honestly it hurts, and every day is worse

I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church

I can't read but the bible's still with me

My eyes can't see from the bottles of whiskey

I don't believe anybody will miss me

And I'm on my knees, tell me, God, are you listening?

I've prayed on my way

To the liquor store that they'd lock the door

'Cause I'll lay in my grave

If the whiskey pours like it did before

I'm scared, I send out a prayer

Can anybody hear me, is anybody there

'Cause honestly it hurts, and every day is worse

I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church
