LYRICS
Here’s my prayer, I’m getting nowhere
I’m stepping up the stairs but falling behind
I’m a one man show that nobody knows
My body sure knows, I’m wondering why
I can’t go on singing this song
That the angels will not hear
The world is a hole from all that I stole
But there is still a little love in here
Few things will last, I did it too fast
But I’m learning to cry
Don’t be a stepping stone
Get it all out, deliver it
Here’s my weep, I’m digging too deep
I do believe in lies, I’ve got everything to hide
I’m young, I’m old, I do what I’m told
Cut open, unfold, but there’s nothing inside
I can’t go on singing this song
That the angels will not hear
The world is a hole from all that I stole
But there is still a little love in here
Few things will last, I did it too fast
But I’m learning to cry
Hey child you dance too loud
Here is your limit
I can’t go on singing this song
That the angels will not hear
The world is a hole from all that I stole
But there is so much love in here
Few things will last, I did it too fast
But I’m learning to cry
Don’t be a stepping stone
Get it all out, deliver it
Here’s my plead, my never ending repeat
I’m a circular cry baby with no one to trust
I’m restless and mad and anciently sad
If someone wants to kill me go ahead but make it fast
