David Bazan - Bless This Mess lyrics

God bless the man who stumbles God bless the man who falls God bless the man who yields to temptation God bless the woman who suffers God bless the woman who weeps God bless the children trying her patience Trouble getting over it Is what you're in for so pour yourself another 'Cause it'll take a steady pair of hands Holy or unholy ghost Well now I can´t tell but either way you cut it You should get some distance if you plan To take a stand God bless the house divided God bless the weeds in the wheat God bless the lamp lit under a bushel I discovered hell to be the poison in the well So I tried to warn the others of the curse But then my body turned on me I dreamed that for eternity My family would burn then I awoke with a wicked thirst By my baby's yellow bed I kissed her forehead and rubbed her little tummy Wondering if she´d soon despise the smell Of the booze on my breath like her mom Through a darkened mirror I have seen my own reflection And it makes me want to be a better man After another drink God bless the man at the crossroads God bless the woman who still can't sleep God bless the history that doesn't repeat
