Poor Man's Prayer

It ain’t happening

it’s time to give it up

It's a hard come down getting run out of town and no one gives a fuck

Caught on a ferris wheel for about a year

Just when you clear the clouds, life kicks you out and knocks you down a tier

God, we both know you owe me a favour

I've been serving time, getting by on good behavior

Now the rope's fraying thin, the roads getting steep

The dogs are hungry, they're showing their teeth

And it's all fun and games, till one day it's not

You sell your memories to keep out the rot

While the robbers sleep warm in their beds

While my heart breaks again and again

I don’t know what I’m saying

This is a poor man's way of praying

Stranded in the woods with a dwindling flare

Narrowly scrapping by on a poor mans prayer

It dulls the edge, widens the ledge, softens the concrete

There's ice in my veins, sparks in my brain, pushing me to my brink

God, we both know you owe me a favour

I've been serving time, getting by on good behavior

Now the rope's fraying thin, the roads getting steep

The dogs are hungry, they're showing their teeth

It's all fun and games, till one day it's not

You sell your memories to keep out the rot

While the robbers sleep warm in their beds

While my heart breaks again and again

I don't know what I'm saying

This is a poor man's way of praying

God, we both know you owe me a favour

I've been serving time, getting by on good behavior

Now the rope's fraying thin, the roads getting steep

The dogs are hungry, they're showing their teeth

It's all fun and games, till one day it's not

You sell your memories to keep out the rot

While the robbers sleep warm in their beds

While my heart breaks again and again

I don't know what to say

Reading what I'm saying

If you can hear me now

This is a poor man's way of praying
