I Was A Prayer Lyrics - Crimson - Alkaline Trio

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 the ransom 

You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 pay the ransom 

You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come 

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

Photos 

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 pay the ransom 

You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come 

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