cryin' on my break at work
feelin' the tug through my friends
who aren't here
sage underneath my tongue
black pepper cracked in my gums
got me believing in wavelengths
got me believing in God
hold you, hold you, hold you
hold it, hold it, b-x is whining
i can't believe how scared i am
now my mouth is dry
now i'm gagging
cryin' over some girl downtown
i thought i liked to drink
but i think i just like
i'm hungry, i'm hungry, i'm hungry
but i won't eat until it's time
i know it, i know it, i already know
you taste like salt and spices
tryin' to dry my eyes
before i go upstairs
all you had to do was ask
now i'm in your arms in the kitchen
i sport a black eye and a Bible
i won't say i'm
i believe in Jesus
selfishly i like to call my loved ones
so i hear their voices
praying through the hesitation
all your silence is an "Amen"
i won't say i'm sorry
