If Jesus Was an Addict by T11 Lyrics
(Verse 1: T11)
It's like we pray for change but our greed is the problem
Like the government just opened up our wallets and they robbed 'em
A thousand dollar check is, like, seven after taxes
And my rent is $650, I'll let you do the mathematics
And I'm trying to kick this habit that don't help my situation
My priorities are crooked so i'm losing all my patience
Eighty dollars a day to trick my mind to feel content
But now I'm thirty in the hole, so I steal to make rent
But the rent don't get paid 'cause my habit's now an addiction
And the story I made up is all lies, call it fiction
It leaves my mom and girl in a sticky situation
They wanna help me but don't wanna add to the equation
If they don't wanna help, then I'll just help myself
To their purses over there, I see them sitting on the shelf
I know it's hard to understand, I shouldn't take her ring
But if Jesus was an addict he would do the same thing
(Verse 2: T11)
It's like we sing for hope, knowing that it ain't coming
Tie the rope around my neck and don't think to stop runnin'
But I don't think at all anymore
My mind's dead so I break and I fall
Hoping to get caught 'cause on my own I can't stop
If I could untie this knot then I might have a shot
At redemption, but I ain't the one that's gonna save me
Pacing in my room, man, I'm fucking going crazy
Night turns to day turns to night turns to weeks turns to months
Of hanging in there but dying to give up
And I'm just dying for stability
Knowing that these little pills are all intent on killing me
Knowing that the real me is nowhere to be seen
Praying that I wake up and it's all just a dream
But I know that it's not deep down in my heart
So I fight to stay afloat before it tears me apart
(Hook: T11) x4
Tear me apart, I know it can't be hard
With all the shit we been through we try and cover up our scars
But they make us who we are
We can't hide the fact that we played the wrong cards
Tear me apart, I know it can't be hard
With all the shit we been through we try and cover up our scars
We need to take down our guard
Forget about the past and just reach for the stars
Tear me apart, you try and tear me apart
But I won't let you tear me apart
No I won't let you tear me apart
No I won't let you
It's like we pray for change but our greed is the problem
Like the government just opened up our wallets and they robbed 'em
A thousand dollar check is, like, seven after taxes
And my rent is $650, I'll let you do the mathematics
And I'm trying to kick this habit that don't help my situation
My priorities are crooked so i'm losing all my patience
Eighty dollars a day to trick my mind to feel content
But now I'm thirty in the hole, so I steal to make rent
But the rent don't get paid 'cause my habit's now an addiction
And the story I made up is all lies, call it fiction
It leaves my mom and girl in a sticky situation
They wanna help me but don't wanna add to the equation
If they don't wanna help, then I'll just help myself
To their purses over there, I see them sitting on the shelf
I know it's hard to understand, I shouldn't take her ring
