Drink the sky

Yeah I woke up choking on last night’s sins

Black lungs full of thunder, burned skin and gin

The mirror cracked open, and it whispered my name

Said “You built your throne in the dirt and flame”

And I don’t pray no more, I just grind my teeth

Every scar’s a hymn, every lie’s relief

So I drink the sky, bleed it dry

Taste the ash ‘til my angels die

If I can’t feel pain, I can’t feel right

Pour me down slow, drown out the light

Yeah I drink the sky…

And I don’t ask why

I’m a saint with a needle halo, bent and torn

A preacher to the lost, drunk, and reborn

All my faith’s in a cracked shot glass

All my love’s just smoke that won’t last

And I don’t crawl for peace, I burn for sin

‘Cause every fall feels better than standin’ again

So I drink the sky, bleed it dry

Taste the ash ‘til my angels die

If I can’t feel pain, I can’t feel right

Pour me down slow, drown out the light

Yeah I drink the sky…

And I don’t ask why

There’s blood in my songs, and ghosts in my grin

Every high’s a promise I’ll break again

Heaven’s closed, and hell’s on tap

So I raise my glass, and don’t look back

(guitar solo – dirty and desperate, slides crying through distortion)

So I drink the sky, bleed it dry

Let the poison kiss my pride

If love’s a wound, I’ll never heal

Just cut me open, let me feel

Yeah I drink the sky…

I drink the sky…

And fade to black inside

(fade out — rain, static, a breath that sounds like a confession)
