Trevor Hall - Liquor Store lyrics

rate me

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
