liquor store

i went down to the liquor store

and bought some more liquor

i drank myself to sleep in a starry night

hoping that i would drown

in all the ocean's sound

i swam into its depths with my eyes closed tight

hoping i would see the light

well i built a fire with both my hands

and watched it burn the land

i planted seeds in ashes

just to see if it would grown again

took a train to outer space

to see if i could find a place

where i could watch the sweet sun burn the scars off my face

hoping i would see the light

well the rain came down without a sound

and flowers sprouted from the ground

how can i not speak of god when all i see is this mirage

we pick up guns and we kill our own

oh this road leads so far from home

i pray to the angel of fire

to burn this mess until it dies

at the top of the hill

at the feet of the tree

i found the truth in an apple seed

who would've known

that when it had grown

i could see all the stars and all the cosmos

some say i'm sick and some call me mad

they say i've lost all that i've had

true i am mad for the light

for the spark

that resides in the deepest depths of my heart
