Pathetic

Just pass me one more beer
I swear this next one will be my last
I'm choking on the alcohol
but I'm tired of breathing the air from the past
and I just wanna get back to sleep
this south Florida air is just
a little too fucking heavy for me
and I'm lost
in a pile of stale cheap beer cans
but I swear the map outs at the bottom of this next one

laying here
I fall into a void
of endless possibilities
I'm not sure if I'm drowning in your eyes
or if I'm drowning in the OE
I'm pretending you're my sleeping bag
wrapped around me at night
remembering you're in every car
ignoring my thumb as you drive by

I wish I was a Christian I could confess my sins away
I wish that I was Jesus I could turn the other cheek
I wish I was an athiest and know that this is all fake
I wish I had another beer I just wanna get back to sleep

___

I wish I was a Christian I could waste my life away
I wish that o was Jesus someone please crucify my
I wish I was an athiest I just wanna be happy
I wish I had another beer I just wanna get back sleep
