Christopher Cornell Stolen Prayer Lyrics

Stolen Prayer Lyrics

I walk the streets alone

On feeble bones i ride

My sins are etched in stone

I got no place to hide

Well, i was unshakable

In what i did believe

I feel so breakable

But have i been deceived



You showed me your paradise

And your carnival of souls

But my heart keeps telling me

That ain't the place to go

Well, i'm not invincible

So i want you to leave

Well, i'm so convincible

But have i been deceived



I take your words and try them on

Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Well, tell me why i'm so afraid

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer



I remember yesterday

When things were black and white

Never thought i'd get confused

On what was wrong and right

Well, i'm not unbreakable

With armor on my skin

Well, it's not unthinkable

I could be fooled again



I take your words and try them on

Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Well, tell me why i'm so afraid

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer



You steal another minute from my life

You cut a little deeper with your knife

You steal a little breath from my air

And you don't care

And even though i'm chokin'

All my words are spoken



I take your words and try them on

Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy

You tell me one size fits us all

Yeah, like an old straightjacket

Take this world and try it on

Man, you're lookin' good boy

Stick your neck out on the block

So you won't miss nothing

Stretch your finger, grab your hair

Don't you feel like screaming

Feel the blood rush from your veins

Now you're a perfect zombie

Now i'm on my knees



All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

All my words are spoken

In a stolen prayer
