Amen

Lyrics

[Intro] Pick up the fuckin' phone, pick up the goddamn phone Ah fuck, oh goddammit Baby if you get this, call me back immediately This is a fuckin' emergency I, I think I did too much shit, my fuckin' heart feels like it's about to shut down So call me back, quick as fuck please. Bye [Verse 1] Cocaine in my nostril hair White lines chopped up on a cloudy mirror Heartbeat tellin' me to slow it down I ain't listenin' and I can hear it loud and clear My ribcage's clinchin', I'm pourin' sweat Still tryna snort lookin' for a drip Trippin' out, knowin' I did too much Havin' a panic attack, I feel short of breath I shut the bathroom door and wet my face Hopin' that the water might cool me off Tryna throw up in the toilet to get it out my system My nose started pourin' blood And that made it worse, the blood stained my shirt I'm contemplatin' wakin' my parents up Tellin' the truth, I'm overdosin' on coke but Maybe it'll go away, I'm just paranoid I went back in the room and I shut the door Got some Xanax to the dresser drawer Here I go again mixin' uppers and downers The sound of my heart like a tug o' war 'Cause all I heard as I laid in bed "please God lemme live I promise I will never do drugs no more" Closed my eyes and realized that I wasn't sure I calmed down and I snorted more like goddamn [Chorus] Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep But if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen Let me see another day again [Verse 2] Holes in the gloves of the homeless man Freezin' as bad as the cold cement On the corner beggin' with an open hand The weather man said it's probably gonna snow again There more holes in his clothes that expose his skin Sick with pneumonia, he's old and slim Hopin' when somebody walks by and sees him Freezing, they may throw him a coat The wind is unbearable, he hasn't ate in days Diggin' through the trash, found a burger that's halfway eaten Some packets of mayonnaise Beggin' all day, nobody gave him change He just lays in waste below the underpass Last year he done almost froze to death But this winter is much colder The homeless shelter's too full, now there's no one left to come rescue him He's outta breath, they can't give him a second wind, the snowfall arrives Prayin' out loud "please God I apologize For anything I done wrong", he cried He can't feel his fingers, his legs are numb But everyone else is at home warm inside He's up under the bridge 'bout to freeze to death Singin' to God I don't wanna die like dear Lord [Chorus] Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep But if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen Let me see another day again [Verse 3] Life of her was so promising Popular, a homecoming queen Dreamed of becoming a doctor one day She's smart so her grades were astonishing Her boyfriend gave her a promise ring It was a prime example of puppy love They act as if they was attached at the hip Every time you saw one they was coupled up Neither one of them drunk that much But one night they got the invite to go and drink with friends What started out to be a normal night Would change the course of life and have a tragic end And then 10 shots later, said they had to leave Her friend said stay, you okay to drive? One of the dudes tried to take her keys She said please you're trippin', I'm okay, I'm fine She got behind the wheel, her boyfriend was trashed On the highway goin' way too fast Hit a sharp corner round a bend and crashed Her boyfriend's head went through the windshield fast Her neck gashed wide open, her ribs are broken Her boyfriend's gone, in the car he died She hangin' on, waitin' for the Jaws of Life to get her out And she started to shut her eyes and she said God [Chorus] Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep But if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen Let me see another day again
