Pray
Destrophy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I prayed for life
But it wasn't enough
This fear has clouded my eyes
I fear I've lost everything that I've won
And now I've become the lie
And I pray
To be The man I should be
I want to be alive
I prayed
Something must have gone wrong
This faith has clouded my eyes
I fear I am lost
I am already gone
And now it's too late to try
When will my senses come to me
Or will they take me
I can't believe the things I see
Don't let them break me
I prayed for life and I knew it was wrong
I prayed for life and it's already gone
When will my senses come to me
Or will they take me




I can't believe the things I see
Don't let them break me
