[00:03.42]I need a short drink or a long prayer
[00:06.11]I've been sober, but I don't care
[00:07.69]I'm so scared of my own self
[00:09.12]I get no help, and that's no fair
[00:10.53]So don't go there, I've been Hell and back
[00:12.37]I got scorched hair in this Gucci cap
[00:14.05]I got empty bottles and a million follows
[00:16.62]I regret swallowing the Ativan
[00:17.92]Fuck it, let's be real
[00:20.08]I resent the way that I feel
[00:21.19]I pretend that it's cool, but I miss getting drunk
[00:22.90]And I'm angry that God doesn't help when I kneel
[00:25.13]Fuck it, I said my prayers
[00:26.66]When I got cleaned, shit just got worse
[00:29.96]I quit doing drugs, and I pleaded with Jesus to save me
[00:31.79]But he didn't hear my words
[00:33.52]This shit don't work, it hurts
[00:34.99]I went to church, now I need liquid courage
[00:37.38]Whiskey in my glass, I take the knives out of my back to stir it
[00:39.16]Go to Hell and back again, then show you burns to prove I earned it
[00:43.93]I need shots or God to gain the strength I need, I'm just a person
[00:46.13]I pray on my way
[00:48.74]To the liquor store that they lock the doors
[00:52.37]'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[00:55.65]If the whiskey pours like it did before
[01:01.79]I'm scared, I send out a prayer
[01:03.58]Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there?
[01:08.24]'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worse
[01:09.56]I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church
[01:12.90]I keep talking to God, but he don't hear me
[01:17.57]And my demons are there, always listening
[01:21.08]I get lost in the dark, drowning in whiskey
[01:27.01]And I went in so far, you say you miss me
[01:28.47]I'm on a ship in a bottle, so say goodbye at the shore
[01:31.50]Break the glass and you'll find me, I'm not who I was before
[01:35.05]Close my eyes in the darkness and hold on through the storm
[01:38.64]I'm a wreck in a bottle, I wasn't built for a war
[01:42.35]These church pews
[01:46.87]Bright lights, whiskey glasses, bottles of booze
[01:49.57]Make short days to long nights
[01:52.74]The bottle, the Bible, I didn't know what to choose
[01:56.27]I pray on my way
[01:59.07]To the liquor store that they lock the doors
[02:02.68]'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[02:05.93]If the whiskey pours like it did before
[02:09.64]I'm scared, I send out a prayer
[02:12.48]Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there?
[02:15.86]'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worse
[02:19.32]I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church
[02:24.17]I can't read, but the Bible's still with me
[02:30.32]My eyes can't see from the bottles of whiskey
[02:37.66]I don't believe anybody will miss me
[02:44.30]And I'm on my knees, tell me, God, are you listening?
[02:52.27]I pray on my way
[02:55.13]To the liquor store that they lock the doors
[02:58.96]'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[03:02.06]If the whiskey pours like it did before
[03:05.61]I'm scared, I send out a prayer
[03:08.39]Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there?
[03:11.83]'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worse
[03:16.42]I keep buying whiskey when all I need is church
