My Priest

I drink to remember That I hate the taste I think I can fake it I think it's too late I smoke 'til I cough up My bloody mistakes I swallow the burning But I'm not okay I can't get over This feeling of hopeless But I'm still devoted To you If I lose my balance And fall into silence I just want to know that You knew You knew (knew, knew, knew) The whiskey's my pastor The vodka's my priest The gin's my therapist My brother My beast The bourbon's my preacher The scotch is my guide The rum's my teacher The bottle's my bride I can't get over This feeling of hopeless But I'm still devoted To you If I lose my balance And fall into silence I just want to know that You knew You knew (knew, knew, knew)
