Sittin' on the porch just the rain and me
A worn-out chair and a memory
The cracks in the wood match the cracks in my soul
Tryin' to patch 'em but they swallow me whole
I called you last night but the line stayed dead
No answers came just the words in my head
The wind hums low like it knows my sin
Spinnin' my wheels but I can't begin
Is it the pills or the prayer that'll get me through?
Is it the past or the pain that keeps me from you?
This heart of mine feels heavier than steel
I'm chasin' a cure for somethin' I can't feel
Yeah somethin' I can't feel
The fields out back used to stretch so wide
Now they close in no room to hide
The whiskey's warm but it don't bring peace
Just stirs the ache won't grant release
Every scar's got a name but I keep 'em sealed
They whisper too loud makin' sure they're revealed
Your face is a picture hung in my mind
But the frame keeps crackin' every time I rewind
Is it the pills or the prayer that'll get me through?
Is it the past or the pain that keeps me from you?
This heart of mine feels heavier than steel
I'm chasin' a cure for somethin' I can't feel
Yeah somethin' I can't feel
If a sunrise could speak would it call me by name?
Would it burn through the clouds or leave me the same?
I'm a man with a shovel diggin' too deep
Buryin' truths that I know I can't keep
Is it the pills or the prayer that'll get me through?
Is it the past or the pain that keeps me from you?
This heart of mine feels heavier than steel
I'm chasin' a cure for somethin' I can't feel
Yeah somethin' I can't feel
The sky don't answer the ground won't speak
I'm stuck in this riddle week after week
But I'll keep hummin' this broken tune
'Cause the stars might listen when I call on the moon
