Pray For Me Lyrics - Singles - Only Crime

It's strange all the ways 

We suffer everything in trade 

Like the trails we impose to disappear 

Find I've strayed from the course of least resistance 

Losing sight of the prize like a faint and distant scar 

Forced it down with the rest 

Of the bitterness and humility not less 

Than the air we simply breathe and sterilize 

Say a prayer for me I'm still haunted and so starved 

Separated from my sins I'm too tired to forgive 

Say it's everything I've lost and I'll believe each word 

Spare the silence we defend and criticize 

Now too many names unlock the serpentine escape 

Like the bombs we project in severed lines 

Break my faith in the will 

Blood torn from innocence we kill 

Every single time we hear a siren on the air 

Now as hopelessness surrounds me 

I stand torn just like a child of war 

The lie inside bitter and commanding 

We face the world with nothing but our breath 

The fires rage the static boils 

The broken words the shattered page 

A children's lie a starving soul 

From hand to mouth assume control 

I'm not the one to bear this pain 

And share the sin yet still refrain 

In token words and spoken lies 

We spit inside your pious eyes
