Tired Eyes

Met with the Father last night

While I self medicate with some whiskey and rye

Told him, “I can’t see at night.”

He said, “how can you see through those tired eyes?”

Well I got some sleep but I spilt my beer

While I stare at the sky with my tired eyes

And I talk to God while I’m going 99

As I lose my mind at a red light, I…

Get that feeling again

Deep inside of my chest

That I won’t last long

And I’m better off dead

So I bury myself

In the faults of my head

I don’t want to go home

But I don’t want stay here

And I trade my friends

For some peace in my head

But what I get instead

Is a night full of dread

 

Oh, I’m stuck in my head

With those tired eyes

I need some sleep

And peace at night…

 

Met with the Father last night

While I self medicate with a bottle of wine

Told him, “I can’t hear my mind.”

He said, “how can you think with those tired eyes?”

I’m fucking mess, I’m a fucking loser

Hope she still loves me but I know she don’t

So I dig in deep and clench my teeth

And sing a song while I…

Get that feeling again

Deep inside of my chest

That I won’t last long

And I’m better off dead

So I bury myself

In the faults of my head

I don’t want to go home

But I don’t want stay here

And I trade my friends

For the drunks and dead

But what I get instead

Is some peace in my head

 

Oh what a shame

Lord take my name

Use it wisely

Don’t put it to waste
