Peace

Cutting holes to reduce my belt size
A side effect of a changing lifestyle
Japanese beer, Yankee pills, and Irish whiskey
I cut 'em down, it's working out, it ain't clean
But everything feels tidy

This is peace, or at least as close as I've been
Oh, darling it's peace, or at least, I think it could be

And don't it feel fine

And I needed A-A, I needed university
And I needed the doctor to look me in the eyes when I speak
And now he's listening, so I don't need to meet with strangers on the street
For the second-hand vials with-the torn off labels just so I can sleep

This is peace, or at least as close as I've been
Oh, darling it's peace, or at least I think it could be

My father would sit with an arm 'round me
"Matt, you can be what you wanna be, anything" I'm gonna be
Somebody that knows how to help someone like him
Old man, I'm sorry

Now I know what it feels like
To write yourself off to get by
He felt afraid when everybody said you're gonna die
You better change your life but

I'm conscious now, beauty abounds
And I see God all around
I can feel it, the spirit is healing in me
I can feel it, the spirit is healing in me

This is peace, or at least as close as I've been (and I see god all around)
Oh, darling it's peace, or at least I think it could be (and I see god all around)
This is peace, or at least as close as I've been (and I see god all around)
Oh, darling it's peace, or at least I think it could be (and I see god all around)

This is peace, or at least as close as I've been (and I see god all around)
This is peace, or at least I think it could be (and I see god all around)
