Alkaline Trio - I Was A Prayer

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
