tw drugs alcohol drinking n driving

lyrics

i drank the water from the mountain
hello mom, i shaved my head
pissed in sinks across the country
just to pass out in my bed
and if yr card runs out of money
please do not treat me like a bank
did you learn that from your parents
or is it our friends we have to thank?
you are plato with a shotgun
hello god, please let me live
i was quiet in the classroom
now my hunger knows no end
it knows no end
it knows no end

i rode my bike up on the nightly
hello dog, don't break the skin
turned ghostly white almost every night
from the headlights i got caught up in
and i bought drugs out in the courtyard
of St. Michael's Catholic Church
you gave your body as an offering
to the temple of human hurt
and hey hey Jesus, Mary, Joseph
you're ignoring all my calls
i know that you are home now
because the sky's about to fall
about to fall
about to fall

and oh holy spirit, i am invoking yr name
it's all come to this, my dear theophilus
and nothing will ever be the same

so i gave you these nicknames in my journal
high priestess, daughter of god
thought i'd covered all my bases once
but somehow i still got caught
up in this sunday morning bender
i got drunk and crashed a car
and i painted Pollack-style splatter portraits
w/ the colors of your heart
but still you put flowers in my notebooks
and cut the pages from my hair
so i took this cup to the mountain top
and i drank that shit down right there.
