Theology Tangents Lyrics

Its 1:30 am and i'm thinking about my work shift

I clock in at 7, should've been in bed at 11

You texted me a joke and I laughed until I turned blue

You asked me to call you, what was I supposed to do

Now we're on the phone and you ramble about theology

You say that you're agnostic, or just an alcoholic

I'm drunk off your laugh, second hand high on your behalf,

You know how to woo me, I ask you if you truly,

Believe there is a god, or are you just scared of dying,

You stumble through a bible verse, you're way of denying

I've read that book from front to back

Scarred myself with white and black,

Text, please don't deflect, and maybe this is a reflex

But I ask you a question

Take a sec, digest it

Which is more important

To find the path to purity

Or maintain your integrity

That's when you just looked at me

Say I think I need some sleep

Shit..

I got too deep

I'm kicking myself for not going to bed sooner

You really sucked me in with your killer sense of humor

Now I'm on the road, looking rough, I feel exposed

At my my dead end job filled with boring baby boomers

And I wish they would stop asking me

About the future I foresee

Hope I'm not dramatic

But My brain is just static

If I look like I'm zoning out

I'm just dreaming about water cause my mouth is a drought

I left my bottle the car and I can't get it

Cause if I open the door I'm gonna start the car and hit it

I ask myself the question

Stare blankly to digest it

Is there such thing as heaven

Cause hell is this profession

My boss is so possessive

It gives me indigestion

I need my 40 hours

Fuck this wage concession

I promise i'm not high

I'm just thinking bout the afterlife

I spend all my time letting money keep me petrified

when i'm in the ground there won't be dimes in my pocket

Maybe ill have enough to afford the damn casket

Lets Smoke wax poetic

Get so high it's pathetic

Fumble through the scripture

Find errors in phonetics

This poem is pretentious

Just be glad I'm conscious

My brain gets so lonely

It's so hard being godless
