lyrics

say a prayer for me
i think i'm worse off than you thought i was
i'm increasingly afraid
i might hurt the ones i love

ever since i was a kid
the skies were always blue
so even when the well was dry
your sea was always full

now i cannot hold the joy
whatever device i employ
and the techniques i have used
well i'm the only one who's fooled

when you're wanting to be something
and you get good at pretend
til you're thinking you are someone
that you've never really been

are there angels on the waters
in this turbulence of thought
hey babe i'm all shellshocked

the cut came fast and deep
but this will come as no surprise
baby i was always told
the hand is quicker than the eye

and if radio is waves
and waves are like the ocean
i'd be drowning in your swells
instead of going through the motions

truth is like a stone
and falsehood's always liquid
but with eyes so blind and hands so numb
you can hardly tell the difference

from the part that's on the stage
and underneath these lights
we are traitors and we're treasonous
hidden just out of your sight

you can look into your mirror
you can inspect every trace
yeah i may have found my id
but i have yet to find a face
