Stolen Prayer
Stolen Prayer by @Q_slash (Q Slash)

I walk the streets alone/ On feeble bones I ride/ My sins are etched in stone/ I got no place to hide/ Well, I was unshakable/ In what I did believe/ I feel so breakable/ But have I been deceived/

    You showed me your paradise/
    And your carnival of souls/
    But my heart keeps telling me/
    That ain't the place to go/
    Well, I'm not invincible/
    So I want you to leave/
    Well, I'm so convincible/
    But have I been deceived/

    I take your words and try them on

/ Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy / You tell me one size fits us all / Yeah, like an old straightjacket / Well, tell me why I'm so afraid / All my words are spoken / In a stolen prayer

/ I remember yesterday / When things were black and white / Never thought I'd get confused / On what was wrong and right / Well, I'm not unbreakable / With armor on my skin / Well, it's not unthinkable / I could be fooled again

/ I take your words and try them on / Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy / You tell me one size fits us all / Yeah, like an old straightjacket / Well, tell me why I'm so afraid / All my words are spoken / In a stolen prayer

/ You steal another minute from my life / You cut a little deeper with your knife / You steal a little breath from my air / And you don't care / And even though I'm chokin' / All my words are spoken / / I take your words and try them on / Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy / You tell me one size fits us all / Yeah, like an old straightjacket / Take this world and try it on / Man, you're lookin' good boy / Stick your neck out on the block / So you won't miss nothing / Stretch your finger, grab your hair / Don't you feel like screaming / Feel the blood rush from your veins / Now you're a perfect zombie / Now I'm on my knees
