Lyrics

Prayer Position

[Verse 1]

Another day pulls me down to my knees and

Holds the gun to my fucking head

Can't feel a thing

Prayer position holding my life above the muck

Oh God, I'm speaking in swirling bowls

Now the walls are laughing in silence

I'm spiraling down to the floor

Can't feel a thing

My conditioning, in me down to the core

When will it end?

When is it over?

When can I live?

[Pre-Chorus]

The bar is held down on my throat

Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole

[Chorus]

Take away misery tomorrow

Shine a light to end this dimming glow

Take away misery tomorrow

Shine a light to end this dimming glow

[Verse 2]

The day is gone

Now turns the night

Our bodies glow ever so bright

The crash is done

We reach new highs

Our bodies glow ever so bright

Venture through these eyes

Venture through these eyes and lose all time

[Verse 3]

Scratch the itch and murder the body for pleasure

Sparking it up

Breathing the fire we crave

Guzzle it down

Feeling the sparkle together

Ante it up and blow me away for the high

Let's go

What are we doing and where have the morals all gone?

Now is the time

This is the feeling we treasure

You won't remember, but goddamnit it's fine

[Pre-Chorus]

The bar is held down on my throat

Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole

[Chorus]

Take away misery tomorrow

Shine a light to end this dimming glow

Take away misery tomorrow

Shine a light to end this dimming glow

[Breakdown]

Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole

Stomp on my heart

Let's go, ehhh!

[Outro]

Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole

Stomp on my heart

Let's go, my head, throw it down in a hole

Blow me away, let's go!

Blow me away, let's go!
