Macklemore - Neon Cathedral lyrics

Aha Uhm 1-2 [Verse 1 ��� Macklemore:] Round here they sing broken hymns Their prayers flow better when they're soaked in gin The amp's dusty and sits in the corner By a bartender that'll pickpocket your heart And a jukebox that'll steal your quarter Bartender, please give me a confession Exchange fear for courage in the form of a well drink There's a heavy current, got a long way to swim Closed the Bible a while ago, I need some shots for this sin Hail Mary, come with me, feel like Pac when it hits Got some fire in my belly and a riot in the gut Bushmills for a band-aid, the sweet taste of blood Then I might actually feel something if I don't cover it up Rusted faces, familiar places Even if they haven't left the vinyl booth that they stayed in The motel next door, a sign that reads vacant And a truth that's so strong I'd be a fool not to chase it But yet, I'm a fool and I stay here Hope these problems drown themselves, I die in wait here One more, four more, f** it a night cap Service starts at 5 tomorrow and I'll be right back [Hook ��� Allen Stone:] Underneath this fragile frame Lives a battle between pride and shame But I've misplaced that sense of fright This crown of thorns is perched atop my spine Listen closely as I testify Dependency has been that thief at night Thief at night, thief at night [Verse 2 ��� Macklemore:] I read the Bible, but I forgot the verses The liquor store is open later than the church is Pured by their imperfections, everything that's burning To Hell with the confessions, all the "Lord Have Mercy's" Blessed in holy water, the sin, Oh Holy Father Have you ever smelled flesh that sweats out Monarch vodka? 11 AM in the morning and you can't get it off ya Callin' to the preacher but it's like the pastor isn't talking Until the store opens I can re-up on that doctrine The people close to me say that I'm in need of a doctor Think that I got a problem but these are not apostles This is the drink of the Lord, that's according to my gospel Open to interpretation, if you're judgin' I don't want it I got sins that scold like my throat when I hit the bottle And I'm sinking and that's why I keep on drinking I need a refill, far more than once every weekend Sweet Jesus, I'm getting amnesia Shaking 'til I get a taste, my faith is having seizures Every time I walk away and try to leave it Every time I walk away and try to leave it [Bridge ��� Macklemore:] Wouldn't miss it for the world Baptized in my vices and the bar is my church Traded my artist and I pawned off the easel Spend it all searching for God at the Neon Cathedral [Bridge ��� Macklemore:] Wouldn't miss it for the world Baptized my vices and the bar is my church Traded my artist and I pawned off the easel Spend it all searching for God, Neon Cathedral Neon Cathedral [Hook ��� Allen Stone:] Underneath this fragile frame Lives a battle between pride and shame But I've misplaced that sense of fright This crown of thorns is perched atop my spine Listen closely as I testify Dependency has been that thief at night Thief at night, thief at night Dependency has been that thief at night Thief at night, thief at night Dependency has been that thief at night Thief at night, thief at night
