lyrics

Everybody’s got secrets
And places they hide
Something we’re all ashamed of
When you drag around too many lies.
I had the taste in my mouth
And the smell on my hands
Afraid of tomorrow
Ignoring the past
Avoiding all of your eyes.

I'm just a prayer
I'm just a prayer
Of things unforseen
And hopes for me
And people I'll probably never be.

I fell
By my own hand
I choked
When it mattered the most
Right at the end.
I believed
I was under control
I was dragged under again recklessly
Visiting old ghosts

New days
Wasted like wine
On a drunkard who's already drunk
And knows he's got so little time.
Old ways
Threaten my change
Flying by the seat of my pants
Searching for fortune and fame.
