I Was A Prayer Lyrics

The song I Was A Prayer is performed by Alkaline Trio in the album named Crimson in the year 2005 .

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 realized, I am shamed, I choose to stay here

You got a sign, so I paid a 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 paid a 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 paid a ransom
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Had a nice grip on my life til you twisted my arm
My arm
