Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sit up thinkin' why I'm prayin' to the sky,
Like if this rosary's a big waste of my time,
Does the church care about me or my shine,
'cause the priest lookin' bitter without a lime,
as I'm out, about my grind, steady facin' the crime,
and you call it blood but all I can taste is the wine,
fewer people attendin' mass, I'd state it's a sign
yet they stay the same and won't change the design,
and they push the Bible, read and say the lines,
but there's no Hell, just good and a satan inside,
and they tellin' us we won't know what forgivin' is,
even if you stole 'cause you tired of what poor livin' is,
check's on a forbidden list, I can't explain this,
they hold my tongue to watch my language,
we'll all prolly die before seein' a made wish,
so when I calm down I know where my place is
---
[Chorus] x2
I lost my faith, I don't think I'll ever get it back,
I still commune but its just like settin' traps,
tryna be sane but I'm down like a stairwell,
My only HOPE, is inside Clare's Well
---
[Verse 2]
I throw a coin at him, you throw life at him,
who are you to judge us, I'm right, at a whim,
and we suppose to take it, polite and a grin,
give out your myspace link and invite, add em in,
and your status is, you jailed, so you real under,
you got orange on, at the least you can feel like a hunter,
went in for the winter, you can heal in the summer,
so when you get out, burn each wheel of the rubber,
and leave, stay out, and drink 'til it's day out,
a thug they got you made out, want you to stay down,
better yet, ta lay down, it's wrong how they doubt,
so prove they fools, nuttin' but a bunch of lame clowns,
and this government set us up to fail
that's why I don't watch the news or trust the mail,
just a poisoned kiss before they shut their veils,
but you can still get hammered when you tough as nails
---
[Chorus] x2
I lost my faith, I don't think I'll ever get it back,
I still commune but its just like settin' traps,
tryna be sane but I'm down like a stairwell,
My only HOPE, is inside Clare's Well

[Verse 3]
I remember John going down to code blue,
I prayed not to take him, and in turn, it came true,
yet when I was given more time, I never came through,
so when he died, I couldn't even blame you,
and now I wish one time to golf with a friend,
or even his mear image as a spot on the lens,
just a sign, he doin' alright, we god honest men,
so sometimes I wonder about what I'm caught up in,
and that's when I got this beef with the church,
at his wake, the priest acted like he was at work,
and to make it worse, they took his rosery off his shirt,
conversations to a headstone when he's deep in the dirt,
I wish for peace, as it were, before the war,
before the gore, maybe as a kid in the corner-store,
but you can't go back, so fast-forward more,
maybe in time my belief in the lord's restored,
but for now
---
[Chorus] x2
I lost my faith, I don't think I'll ever get it back,
I still commune but its just like settin' traps,
tryna be sane but I'm down like a stairwell,
My only HOPE, is inside Clare's Well
