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.
