Mason Jennings - Drinking As Religion Lyrics
After all this useless fighting, after all our schemesWe could sense a final battle and started picking teamsDue to lack of good direction, i fell in with thievesAnd took to drinking as religion and landed on my kneesTruth that starts as understanding finds you in the nightAnd circles all around the ceiling a frightened bird in flightAfter spending hours beneath it, everything comes clearTruth will pose no danger to you, what hunts you both is fearSomewhere in our everafter telephones still ringSomewhere in future journals, love still means somethingI have learned a mighty lesson from this change of plansLoss is brutal, i can't stand it, i wonder how you canAnd all the while there's dogs a-barkingStreets are talking out my windowOut the light and the snow is flaking, hearts are breakingWords are making a mess out of theseThoughts i'm thinking, boats keep sinkingIt's drown or keep drinkingAnd if this darkness came from lightThen light can come from darkness i guessIf this darkness came from lightThen light can come from darkness i guess
