Mason Jennings - Drinking As Religion lyrics

After all this useless fighting, after all our schemes

We could sense a final battle and started picking teams

Due to lack of good direction, I fell in with thieves

Took to drinking as religion and landed on my knees

Truth that starts as understanding, finds you in the night

Circles all around the ceiling, a frightened bird in flight

After spending hours beneath it everything comes clear

Truth will pose no danger to you, what hunts you both is fear

Somewhere in our everafter telephones still ring

Somewhere in future journals love still means something

But I have learned a mighty lesson from this change of plan

Loss is brutal, I can't stand it, I wonder how you can

And all the while there's dogs-a-barking

Streets are talking out my window

And the light and the snow is flaking

Hearts are breaking

Words are making a mess out of these

Thoughts I'm thinking

Boats keep sinking

It's drown or keep drinking

And if this darkness came from light

Then light can come from darkness I guess

If this darkness came from light

Then light can come from darkness I guess
