ALKALINE TRIO - I Was A Prayer lyrics

rate me

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

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 the ransom

You felt sorry, so I felt the 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, 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

You got a sign, so I paid the ransom

You felt sorry, so I felt the 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

And I settle down like a rocket explodes

Hit the ground, but how far out who knows

You got a sign, so I paid the ransom

You felt sorry, so I felt the wrath come

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

My arm
