lyrics
I wake up in the morning,
with hazy memories.
I'm trying to find the counter curse,
to my leprosy.
I might be a sickly boy,
but it's not all that bad.
My daddy told me,
that they make a shot for that.
Give me one good reason,
to get up from the floor.
I'll try to clean the vomit stains up,
from the night before.
I'm asking "what would Jesus do?",
but I get no answer back.
My daddy told me,
that they make a shot for that.
A shot to make my brain okay.
A shot to take my pain away,
cause', oh , I'm feeling sore.
I'm having trouble having freight,
since my life got off track.
Didn't you tell me,
that they make a shot for that?
I speak to you in riddles,
to let you know I'm not insane.
I clean up just a little,
to reassure myself the same.
I'm looking for a substitute,
for the confidence I lack.
My daddy told me,
that they make a shot for that.
A shot to make my brain okay.
A shot to take my pain away,
cause', oh, I'm feeling sore.
I need some sort of company,
when heaven won't talk back.
Didn't you tell me,
that they make a shot for that?
