Lyrics:
This is a prayer
An uneasy feeling until you need to come up for air
It's just once you're bleeding, then do you see you're unprepared
And scared
This is a prayer
This is a bluff
Some twisted delight in knowing we might have had enough
Heartsick of the lying when we're trying not to cut
And run
This is a bluff
When I'm stretching for the sun
Overgrown where I've begun
Will I bow my head to pray
Or just to hide my lack of faith?
This is a risk
Taking the blows, what we undergo when love persists
Never to know the odds on the throw but to commit
And miss
This is a risk
This is a dream
A liminal fake that's been framed as opaque in our routine
When trying to wake with abdominal aches, to feel obscene
And scream
This is a dream
When I'm stretching for the sun
Overgrown where I've begun
Will I bow my head to pray
Or just to hide my lack of faith?
I've been living off these little interventions for far
Far too long
Would it kill for just a little interjection in face
Of it all?
I was taught the thought for your little messiah was to fight to hear our cries
I'm trying not to lie
I think that I want to die
This is a prayer
An uneasy feeling until you need to come up for air
It's just once you're bleeding, then do you see you're unprepared
And scared
This is a prayer
