I gave myself to a higher power
and she left the other night
she grew displeased when I refused
to make the sacrifice


and though I still cry out to her
she doesn't hear my pleas
but I don't have to sleep alone
because she haunts my dreams


I admitted I was powerless
and I confessed my plight
I had my life all figured out
until she left that night


I still can't wrap my head around
how things are what they seem
I wonder when I think of her
if she still thinks of me


I decided I'd get sober, but
now I don't see the point
I think I'll have myself some beer
and smoke a couple joints


got alcohol to sterilize
and herb to ease my pain
but we already know that I
can never be the same


without my higher power, now
I'm helpless* *in my plight
and it all made such perfect sense
**until she left that night
