Piss Cup Friday

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Clocked in on a hangover Still tasting last night Saw the nurse at the front desk And my soul took flight She said, “Take a seat there, honey” With a clipboard and a smile I laughed a little too loud Then I coughed for a while [Pre-Chorus] My hands said guilty My breath said worse I was praying for a miracle Or a quick reverse She pointed at the hallway Like, “Go on, don’t be shy” And I walked in sideways Trying not to die [Chorus] Piss cup Friday Lord, I’m not okay Piss cup Friday Can’t sober up this way My blood’s still singing My boots are full of shame Piss cup Friday Say my name, say my name [Verse 2] Printer jammed by the break room Microwave on ten Janet from accounting Would not look at me again I had a coffee in one hand A soda in the other Trying to act professional Like somebody’s brother [Pre-Chorus] But my eyes were glassy My grin was thin The receptionist knew it Before I walked in She said, “You need water?” I said, “I’m good, I’m fine” Then I knocked my badge Right off the counter line [Chorus] Piss cup Friday Lord, I’m not okay Piss cup Friday Can’t sober up this way My blood’s still singing My boots are full of shame Piss cup Friday Say my name, say my name [Bridge] I tried the cold sink water I tried the minty gum I tried a deep confession To the ceiling light above If honesty was a paycheck I’d be rich by now But the door kept getting closer And I still don’t know how [Chorus] Piss cup Friday Lord, I’m not okay Piss cup Friday Can’t sober up this way My blood’s still singing My boots are full of shame Piss cup Friday Say my name, say my name [Outro] If they ask me what happened I’ll say “hard week, bad choice” I was one bad decision With a very loud voice Piss cup Friday Piss cup Friday
