Cooper, Alice Stolen Prayer Lyrics

I walk the streets alone
On feeble bones I ride
My sins are etched in stone
I've got no place to hide
I was unshakeable
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
I'm so convinceable
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 straight jacket)
So tell me why I'm so afraid
(All my words are spoken)
(All my words are spoken)
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
I'm not unbreakable
With armor on my skin
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 straight jacket)
Well tell me why I'm so afraid
(All my words are spoken)
(All my words are spoken)
All my words are spoken in a stolen prayer

Steal another minute from my life, uh huh
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 choking
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 straight jacket)
Take this world and try it on
(Yeah, you're looking good boy)
Stick your neck out on the block
(So you won't miss nothing)
Stretch your fingers, grab your hair
(Don't you feel like screaming)
Feel the blood rush from your face
(Now you're a perfect zombie)
Now I'm down on my knees
So tell me why I'm so afraid
(All my words are spoken)
(All my words are spoken)
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken in a stolen prayer
