Lyrics
I go where the sinners go
I go to places associated with sinful behavior
Looking for a way to cope
Seeking a way to deal with difficulties or struggles
Sit and try
Sit and attempt
To untangle my mind
To clear my thoughts
No church steeple
No traditional church building
No church pews
No church benches
No, it ainʼt where people talk to you
No place where people converse with you
And I hate to drag you into here tonight
Reluctant to involve someone in the situation
But...
Transition to the prayer
Dear God
Addressee is God
Iʼve reached the bottom
Reached the lowest point in faith
Of my faith
Referring to the bottle as a companion
And this bottle
Expressing an attempt to keep God out of the struggles
Iʼve been trying
Struggling to exclude God from the difficulties
To leave you out of this, I swear
Emphasizing sincerity in trying to keep God out
But if this bar stool confession
Referring to a confession made on a bar stool
Could find its way to heaven
Expressing a desire for the confession to reach heaven
Just let me know youʼre
Hoping for acknowledgment from God
Listening up there
Asking God to show awareness
Would you answer this
Pose a question to God
Whiskey Prayer
Referring to the act of prayer with whiskey involved
Who am I to even ask
Expressing humility in seeking divine intervention
With my hands on an empty glass
Hands on an empty glass symbolizing emptiness
But I canʼt find the words to say
Difficulty in finding the right words to communicate
With sober breath
Having difficulty speaking without being under the influence
Tonight
Reference to the present moment
Cause I know that Iʼve Been too far gone
Acknowledging being too deeply immersed in a negative state
For far too long
Acknowledging a prolonged period of being lost
Lost in these neon lights
Being immersed in the distractions of city life
