Bright Eyes No Prayer Lyrics

No Prayer Lyrics



There's no prayer I could say, no advice I could take, no pill that would make
me feel better. There's no fountain to seek, no cup I could drink. I know of
nothing that ever grew younger. But the universe it must go on forever, just
like two mirrors that are facing each other. It's reality upon illusion over
and over until you can't tell the difference, they both just blend
together.



And I just put each day in a box on a calendar, winter to summer. And I'll go
walking in that same circle for as long as I can remember. I just keep hoping
that someone would make me a better offer. Cause I know the end that we see
from our balcony is barely the beginning.



So I'm up on the fence and I'm still not convinced. Can't decide which side
looks greener. So I just stay where I am, remain indifferent. What happens,
what's happened it's easier.



I'll go ahead and drown myself in the fluids of another. Yeah my woman to me
was as pure and essential as water. And so she looked like me for awhile but
she does no longer cause she took the shape of whatever it was that held her.
She killed the fear in my heart but our love also got murdered. She said my
child you can no longer sing of that fever cause it's selfish and you are not
selfish. You must get stronger. So I know when your lover leaves I guess all
you can be is forgiving.
