From deep within




I walk the streets alone 
On feeble bones I ride 
My sins are etched in stone 
I got no place to hide 

Well, I was unshakable 
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 
Well, I'm so convincible 
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 
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 

I remember yesterday 
When things were black and white 
Never thought I'd get confused 
On what was wrong and right 

Well, I'm not unbreakable 
With armor on my skin 
Well, 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 

You steal another minute from my life 
You cut a little deeper with your knife 
You steal a little breath from my air 
And you don't care 
And even thought 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 
Man, you're looking good, boy 
Stick your neck out on the block 
So you won't miss nothing 

Stretch your finger, grab your hair 
Don't you feel like screaming 
Feel the blood rush from your veins 
Now you're a perfect zombie 
Now I'm on my knees 

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
