"The Longer I Lay Here" lyrics

"The Longer I Lay Here"

You're up with the sunrise
And down when the work's been done
With excellence industry
Diligence naturally

I would like to be you
Just for a few habit forming years
Laziness cuts me like fine cutlery

I need a miracle someone to help me help myself

Sweet Jesus I need you
Forgive me this sin
Not hookers or heroin gambling or gin
It sounds so ridiculous but I just can't lick this
