Artist: Alkaline Trio Album: Crimson (2005) Title: I Was A Prayer
Lyrics I Was A PrayerI am waiting 'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a rib cage
I am out the door with apathy
But I'm coming home with sympathy
I am realized, I am shamed, I choose to stay here
You got a sign, so I paid a ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
There's a song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took I sold
Now I spit out words. Do you see my lungs on the dance floor?
To a hopeless cause I sold my soul
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold
Until I break into chokable pieces
I open up like the back of a book
I ruin everything with just a quick look
And I settle down like a rocket explodes
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows |
