[Verse 1] I keep the bottle in the dark Hidden under the bed like demons at night. Hear it tapping the bed when the nights are still Told my mouth to take a break Lips are dry, starting to crack Need that drink rushing down my throat! I can hear the drill in my head I need the shot to make me feel alright. I crack a smile from the liquid courage Then I fold in two when night strikes [Verse 2] I tried to bury my thirst I need something to quench it! Dry tongue, cracked lips. The dead skin drifts into my hands Every prayer echoes against the walls Silence says it understands! But my words bounced back into my head. [Chorus] I drink my demons taking a breath stroke in my lungs Can't drown them, they know how to swim. God, forgive me, wash me of my sins. For I have sinned again! for the thousandth time I drink my demons, trying to swallow them. They come back, back again! time and time again. God, forgive me, cleanse me! Hit me with the holy trinity! god forgive me. For I have sinned (for I have sinned) [Verse 3] Friends said sanitize your mouth. Go, go wash it out. Spit it out! You can't outrun your mind even in the daylight. I lit that match and witnessed arson. My only way back, I burnt that bridge. Crawling through the smoke shoes and flesh melted, bones exposed. My Knees hit the chapel doors AS i tried to throw my body through the doors. I tried to borrow the holy light with a white lie. If God sent my door, I missed it again! If Hell has a key for me! I know the door is red. [Bridge] If I wake up clean, could god forgive me? If I look back, would the past laugh at me? I'm not proud, but ashamed! I'm not pure, but I'm not light. I’m sitting here with both sides cracked open. Take this weight, take this ache I hate this pain, I need to feel sane. Take the part of me that keeps on choking [Chorus] I drink my demons taking a breath stroke in my lungs Can't drown them, they know how to swim. God, forgive me, wash me of my sins. For I have sinned again! for the thousandth time I drink my demons, trying to swallow them. They come back, back again! time and time again. God, forgive me, cleanse me! Hit me with the holy trinity! god forgive me. For I have sinned (for I have sinned) [Outro] Drowning in my thirst that's never quenched. The wrong drink in hand has me gagging. Black runs from my mouth as a lung comes out. Red tongue turns red from the alcoholic burns. Stinging my tongue like hell within. Needing the pure rain of heaven to flow again. God, please revive me! I need a shot of god to feel whole again.
