Alkaline Trio I Was A Prayer Lyrics

I Was A Prayer Lyrics

I 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 ribcage

Well, I'm out the door with apathy

And I'm coming home with sympathy

I am realize, I am shame, I choose to stay here



You got a sign, so I pay the ransom

You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come

Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm

My arm



There's a song I love so much I stole

Every precious note I took, I sold

Now I spit out words 'til you see my lungs on the dancefloor

To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul

A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold

Until I break into chokable pieces



You got a sign, so I pay the ransom

You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come

Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm

My arm



And I open up like the back of a book

I ruin everything with just a quick look

I settle down like a rocket explodes

Hit the ground but how far out who knows



You got a sign, so I pay the ransom

You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come

Had a nice grip on my life til you twisted my arm

My arm
