Jeremy White - Hymnal Lyrics

I tried the pills
I tried Jesus
I tried the hills
I tried to leave them
The farther I'd get
The farther I'd go

With my head in dreams so holy
I was outside playing ring around the rosy
In a summer freeze, praying for disease

To save my soul
To come around before I got too old
To pay the tolls
I became my own hell
Maybe we just save ourselves
And let the years tell what they wanna tell

I tried the din
In the house of wonder
Tried the hymns
In the house of Usher
Lost myself somewhere in between
Kept wandering - kept folding
Tired of the dice I was rolling
I never wanted anything to be

I put the good book down
I put the bottle down
Drove a stake into the ground
Straight through the heart
Of my hometown
