lyrics

I'm hardly on my feet
I'm weak, and maybe what I need
is some good old religion
to bend me at my knees
I never got to find God
but then I never really tried
I just laid on my nailbed
and thumbed my nose at the sky
and asked why, was I built this way
Two arms and two legs
and nine pounds of hate
And I contain my temper with eight
tall cans a day
and maybe

I'm asking questions to empty rooms
Taking my medicine, cleaning the spoon
And I only find my footing on ledges
I'm asking questions to empty rooms again

I'm more disjointed than a broken arm
The birds out my window were keeping me calm
Till they cut down the trees, outside of my gate
Now I've got a beautiful view of a bank
I feel like running till my feet are in pain
And kneel down and crawl the rest of the way
Just to put some space between me and this place
How much do I pay to get out of the race?

I'm asking questions to empty rooms
Taking my medicine, cleaning the spoon
And I only find my footing on ledges
I'm asking questions to empty rooms again

Oh man, I had nothing but plans
To put pins on the map and footprints on the moon
But here I stand, with a gas can and a match
and a quart of cognac and a tune

I'm asking questions to empty rooms
Taking my medicine, cleaning the spoon
And I only find my footing on ledges
I'm asking questions to empty rooms again
