Cussin' and Cursin': A Prayer - New Song

Started this yesterday, finished it today. What do you think?


I know my mouth
might need redeeming someday
but I don't
plan to pray until then
'cause I'm clean
from the dust,
never swore, never cussed
—no shit.

I guess I'll start prayin'…

But you cursed the ground
so I'd say
I'm sound just callin'
my cussin' cursin'. I'm keepin'
loose my tongue
and warmin' up my lungs
so we can talk person-to-person.

Jesus Christ, God
damn it
I'm so tired of this
shit

'Cause we fucked it all up
to the point where I'm
tryin' to hold back from cryin'
to you,
but I know why
we stumbled--we're both pissed,
high, and humbled
because we couldn't seem to
get a good view. But I'll take another
shot with you, and
why not? It feels good
when we're singin' together
and it might not sound nice, but
fuck soundin' nice.
It's not like we've got forever.

Jesus Christ, God
damn it
I'm so tired of this
shit

I know my mouth
might need redeeming someday
but I don't
plan to pray until then.
