Make me numb

Fill my glass up with rum

Many hands have turned

Can’t forget what I’ve done

Fucking pound the drum

Turn the volume right up

Let the horsemen come

Can’t correct this with words uttered

XXX

My deeds won’t let me go

They’re feasting on my soul

They’ve seeped inside this hole

Can’t get clean from all this soap

The seasons come and go

But leaves still clog the flow

They’re reaching from below

Cut me free or hoist the rope

XXX

The storm won’t rest

And I can’t pay my debt

Here in this sea I’m wet

And I think such heavy thoughts I keel

The river gleams

Here in my wildest dreams

But I can’t be redeemed

My God I’d tell you I’m sorry if you could hear

XXX

Make it stop

Make the blood in me clot

Pick apart the knots

Let the maggots fall off

Still my conscience rots

I am haunted by thoughts

My tomorrow’s robbed

And I’m tangled in thorns stinging

XXX

I’m feeble, weak and slow

And reaping what I sow

I’m teaching grief to grow

Can’t be healed of settled woe

My feelings eat me whole

They tease apart my soul

Chase peace I’ll never know

Can’t be cleared of what I owe

XXX

The storm won’t rest

And I can’t pay my debt

And both my feet are wet

And I think such heavy thoughts I scream

The river gleams

Here in my wildest dreams

But I can’t be redeemed

Oh God I’d tell you I’m sorry if you were here
