lyrics

Really damn hard to stay sober
Shame loves a gamblin in
In rolls you around and it
Never leaves town and it
Never allows you to win

Really damn hard to stay sober
Run right plum out of your pride
Left with the fear that a
“Just one last” beer took the
Final old holy inside

You try and you try to get better inside and let
Paintings of grace out your throat
But every damn song sounds so
Terribly wrong and you
Feel it in every damn note

So I’m sorry god
I ain't listening
I’ve got too much left to atone
I’ll send you down
This old spirit when
Finally I’ve finished my song

Really damn hard to stand upward
Chaining yourself to the floor
Tearing at bindings that
Leave you half-blinded and
Trap you behind this damn door

Really damn hard to stand upward
Falling is all you have known
Laying in bed and pre
Tending at dead with a
Bottle broke over your phone

You try and you try to get better inside and let
Paintings of grace out your throat
But every damn song sounds so
Terribly wrong and you
Feel it in every damn note

So I’m sorry god
I ain't listening
I’ve got too much left to atone
I’ll send you down
This old spirit when
Finally I’ve finished my song

Really damn hard to be quiet
Silence knows all the bad names
Prods you awake and pro
Cedes to partake in an
Auction of remaindered pain

Really damn hard to be quiet
Quietly you want to go
Leave it behind with your
Melting old mind let the
Choir conclude the damn show

You've tried and you've tried to get better inside and let
Paintings of grace out your throat
But every damn song sounds so
Terribly wrong and you've
Felt it in every damn note

So I’m sorry god
I ain't listening
I’ve got too much left to atone
I’ll send you down
This old spirit when
Finally I’ve finished my song
