Drinking As Religion Lyrics - Use Your Voice - Mason Jennings

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 

And took to drinking as religion and landed on my knees 

Truth that starts as understanding finds you in the night 

And 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 

I have learned a mighty lesson from this change of plans 

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 

Out 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
