Amen

Cocaine in my naustril here
White lines chopped in the cloudy mirror
Heart beat telling me to slow it down
I ain’t listening I can hear it loud and clear
My ribcage is clutchy and I’m born this way
Still tryin to score liquor for a drip
Dripping throwing I did too much
Having a panic attack, I feel short of breath
I shut the bathroom door and wet my face
Hoping that the water might cool me off
Tryin to throw up in the toilet to get it out my system
My nose starting pouring blood
And that made it worse the blood stained my shirt
I’m contemplating wake my parents off
Telling the truth I’m overdose on the coke
But make them go away I’m just paranoid
I went back in the room and I shut the door
Got some sand next and the dress and drawers
Here I go again mix it up and down
As it sound on my heart like a tug of wolves
As I heard as I lay in bed
Please god let me live pride myself don’t do drugs no more
Close my eyes and realize that I wasn’t sure
I calmed down let it score more
Like god damn!

[Hook:]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord might sow too deep
But if I before I wake
I pray the lord my soul too take
Amen, amen, amen, amen,
Let me see another day again.

[Verse 2:]
Holes in the gloves of a homeless man
Freeze in the dead as a coaster man
Wanna come bigger with an open hand
With a man said he probably slow again
But more holes in the clothes that dispose the skin
Sick with and the old gaze small and slim
Hoping that somebody watch by and sees and freeze
Let me throw him a coat to winter
It’s unbareable he hasn’t ate in days
Digging through the trash and found a burger that’s halfway eaten
And a pack with some mayonaysse
Big and all ain’t nobody gave ‘em chains
It just lays waste but under underpass
Last year he and almost froze to death
But this winter’s much colder
The homeless shelter’s too full
Now there’s no food left
The come rescue me and no breath
Can’t get in the second wind there’s no fallen rise
Praying out loud please god I apologize
With anything I done wrong
He can’t feel his fingers his legs are numb
But everybody guess is at home warm inside
He’s up under the bridge about to freeze to death
And said god I don’t want to die
But dear lord!

[Hook:]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord might sow too deep
But if I before I wake
I pray the lord my soul too take
Amen, amen, amen, amen,
Let me see another day again.

[Verse 3:]
Life for her is so promising
Pack it up a home coming queen
Dreamed of becoming a doctor one day
She’s smart too her grades were astonishing
Her boyfriend gave her a promise ring
It was a prime example of puppy love
They get as if it was a touch and a hit
Every time you saw one it was coupled off
Either one never drank that much for one night
They got an invite to drink with friends
It started off with a bigger night
Would change the course of life and have traggic end
And then 10 shots led us said they had to leave
Her friends say stay, are you ok to drive?
One of the dudes tried to take her keys
She said, please you’re tripping I’m ok I’m fine
She got behind the wheel her boyfriend was trashed
On the highway going way too fast
Hit a sharp corner on the band and crashed
And her boyfriends head went through the windshell
Her neck half open and her ribs are broken
And her boyfriend’s gone in the car he died
She hanging on waiting or the jaws of life
To get her out then she start and shut her eyes
And said… God why?

[Hook:]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord might sow too deep
But if I before I wake
I pray the lord my soul too take
Amen, amen, amen, amen,
Let me see another day again.
