[00:00.42]Church (Explicit) - Tom MacDonald/Nova Rockafeller/Brandon Hart
[00:01.76]Lyrics by:Brandon Hart/Tom Macdonald/Nova Paholek
[00:03.13]Composed by:Brandon Hart/Tom Macdonald/Nova Paholek
[00:04.94]Tom MacDonald:
[00:13.76]I need a short drink or a long prayer
[00:15.85]I've been sober but I don't care
[00:17.50]I'm so scared of my own self
[00:19.03]I get no help and that's no fair
[00:20.89]So don't go there I've been hell and back
[00:22.51]I got scorched hair in this Gucci cap
[00:24.47]I got empty bottles and a million follows
[00:26.01]I regret swallowing the Ativan
[00:28.05]F**k it let's be real
[00:29.36]I resent the way that I feel
[00:31.14]I pretend that it's cool but I miss gettin' drunk
[00:33.17]And I'm angry that God doesn't help when I kneel
[00:35.02]F**k it I said my prayers
[00:36.56]When I got cleaned s**t just got worse
[00:38.34]I quit doing d**gs and I pleaded with Jesus to save me
[00:40.70]But he didn't hear my words
[00:42.11]This s**t don't work it hurts
[00:43.52]I went to church now I need liquid courage
[00:45.70]Whiskey in my glass I take the knives out of my back to stir it
[00:49.30]Go to hell and back again then show you burns to prove I earned it
[00:52.58]I need shots or God to gain the strength I need I'm just a person
[00:55.89]Tom MacDonald/Nova Rockafeller:
[00:56.46]I pray on my way
[00:59.23]To the liquor store that they lock the door
[01:02.84]'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[01:06.21]If the whiskey pours like it did before
[01:09.82]I'm scared I send out a prayer
[01:12.69]Can anybody hear me
[01:14.47]Is anybody there
[01:16.12]'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worse
[01:19.70]I keep buyin' whiskey when all I need is church
[01:22.95]Brandon Hart:
[01:24.64]I keep talkin' to God but he don't hear me
[01:28.06]And my demons are there always listenin'
[01:31.57]I get lost in the dark drownin' in whiskey
[01:35.07]And I went in so far you say you miss me
[01:38.42]I'm on a ship in a bottle so say goodbye at the shore
[01:42.04]Break the glass and you'll find me I'm not who I was before
[01:45.58]Close my eyes in the darkness and hold on through the storm
[01:49.02]I'm a wreck in a bottle I wasn't built for a war
[01:52.80]These church pews
[01:54.83]Bright lights whiskey glasses bottles of booze
[01:59.99]Make short days to long nights
[02:03.32]The bottle the Bible I didn't know what to choose
[02:06.13]Tom MacDonald/Nova Rockafeller:
[02:06.70]I pray on my way
[02:09.35]To the liquor store that they lock the door
[02:12.85]'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[02:16.31]If the whiskey pours like it did before
[02:19.83]I'm scared I send out a prayer
[02:22.66]Can anybody hear me
[02:24.59]Is anybody there
[02:26.22]'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worse
[02:29.82]I keep buyin' whiskey when all I need is church
[02:32.91]Tom MacDonald:
[02:34.32]I can't read but the Bible's still with me
[02:40.98]My eyes can't see from the bottles of whiskey
[02:47.82]I don't believe anybody will miss me
[02:54.96]And I'm on my knees tell me God are you listenin'
[03:00.02]Tom MacDonald/Nova Rockafeller:
[03:02.35]I pray on my way
[03:05.31]To the liquor store that they lock the door
[03:08.83]'Cause I'll lay in my grave
[03:12.29]If the whiskey pours like it did before
[03:15.84]I'm scared I send out a prayer
[03:18.65]Can anybody hear me
[03:20.61]Is anybody there
[03:22.21]'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worst
[03:25.81]I keep buyin' whiskey when all I need is church
