lyrics

I started praying I was screaming out your name
On the off chance that you were listening
I was 15 beers deep when a shot of Malort
Put my halo around my throat
I sat at the table saying "call out a song"
So I could sing all the words that I want
Now I can't remember but I won't admit it
But the way that we felt wasn't wrong

I started digging I was carving out a place
To prepare the world for my entrance
15 cities in 19 days leave you waking up
With so much better taste
Now I'm here to tell you that it's never wrong
To call your friends up when you're getting drunk
I can't believe it, but I won't bereave it
Cause that life to me isn't lost

I started breathing I was coughing up the same
Tar and smoke that I filtered
Defiling my body's what I've come to love
So one more round before we head home
The blood in my head has been circling below
Pushing poison deep down and into my bones
But when my head hit the concrete floor
The way that I fell was so far
