prayer no. 2 - casper allen lyrics

[spoken intro]
prayer number 1

[verse 1]
cold coffee for to make the morn embrace
coffin for my memories and morphine for my shakes
and there’s sunrise on my shoulder
she just takes and takes and takes
i pray for rain to make the daylight go away

[verse 2]
and old habits for to lay me down to sleep
though i pray the lord is watchin’
there ain’t much left here to keep
when your garden’s grown on gravel
and old seeds are all you reap
i wanna live, but this old spade don’t dig too deep

[verse 3]
what use have we for trees that bear no fruit
well they’re choppin’ down the forest
so you try to follow suit
though you swing with all your might
you just can’t cut it at the root
lay down that axe and let the branches swallow you
[verse 4]
and what’s left when you have taken all you can
will you stand up to the devil or yield his command?
you cannot k!ll an enemy that you don’t understand
lay down that noose and take your father by the hand

[verse 5]
here i sit
a thousand miles from where i started
and i walked out on a friend
and he’s still under water
but me, i’m learning how to swim
i cannot save him from the tide he’s drownin’ in

[verse 6]
so it’s cold coffee for to greet the day’s embrace
the sun smiles down upon me
now i just look him in the face
with this new tongue i repeat
like some heavenly refrain
i am alive and i am grateful for this day
