lyrics

Got the shakes just from thinking
What the evening holds in store
Shit talked the mirror for its drinking
Slipped and stuttered out the door

Walked the streets we tripped five years ago
Muttered to myself,
“How strange the same place can be
Heaven and still be Hell.”

Took a deep breath and swallowed all my sin
Invited God and the devil
To slug it out within

Now I'm all holy smoke,
Communion wine,
Drowning in truth
But still holding my light
When daybreak comes and I'm still alive
I'll be the saving grace
I've been waiting to find

The neighborhood drips itself to sleep Porch lights that flip on and off
Repeat
 Warding us off 
Or calling us home

Now I'm all full of hope
I’m broken, baptized
Took a beating from love
Came out on the other side
When daybreak comes
And I'm aching to die
I'll be the heart attack
That shoots me back into life
