Pray, Drink & Bleed - Stripped Back

My first drug of choice was praying to the lord
Before whiskey brought my knees down to the floor
Before the heaven dust lifted me high
I would lift my pain up to the sky
Now my soul cries out cuz I don't believe anymore

I finally found my voice, something worth fighting for
But my words backfired, oh they were ignored
They told me I should go to therapy
And get back down on my two knees
But I don't pray to the lord cuz I don't believe anymore

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

When things ain't work I'd close my eyes and say
"The lord must have something better on the way"
Instead of facing the hard truth
Oh, I'd numb it down with a prayer or two
But I don't believe anymore and I got nothing to ease my pain
I don't believe anymore and I need something to ease my pain
I guess I'll pray to the lord, drink whiskey and bleed cocaine
