Drunkards Prayer

Tonight I'll say the drunkard's prayer Down the hatch and drown myself to sleep I'll close my eyes and stumble round And fall down on my knees I'll raise the gla*s As it raises me I'll say a prayer Prayer for release Shame acts like a mirror Reflects all I see There's blood in this whiskey It works it's charm on me I'll lift the gla*s As it lifts me I'll say a prayer Prayer for release I catalog the nameless [Incomprehensible] And ask for my forgiveness All I see is my mother's face And my father's blind contrition I'll hold the gla*s As it holds me I'll say a prayer Prayer for release All I want is the devil's due Cast me out among my inventions I'll tell the tale that's been told And live with my suspicions I'll raise the gla*s As it raises me I'll say a prayer Prayer for release I'll hold the gla*s As it holds me And I'll say a prayer Prayer for release
