Silent Prayer
I used to pray for rescue by burning up my painThat's the only kind of prayer I knew back thenIt was a fire of desperation for any wings in flightLike a beacon from my lifeboat late at nightAs long as I was waiting under the empty sky out thereI would feel that sorrow burning like a rescue flareI'd fear there's nothing to believe in, nothing that would careAnd the fire of desperation that's my silent prayerThat's my silent prayer, that's my silent prayerI wanna smash the windows, the congregation's asleepI wanna feel the wind blow and let the spirit freeI can't, I can't stand to sit there where their God is pocket-sizeI wanna feel what's real and will not compromiseThis rage I blaze inside me into the empty sky out thereWhen I feel that sorrow burning like a rescue flareI fear there's nothing to believe in, nothing that would careAnd the fire of desperation, that's my silent prayerThat's my silent prayer, that's my silent prayerShe cuts 'til she's bleeding to scream out from her skinAnd he tightens the tourniquet deep withinFriends fall so fast we call it suicideYou just scream in silence over timeLetras de cancionesOh, this pain you blaze inside you into the empty sky out thereWhen you feel that sorrow burning like a rescue flareYou fear there's nothing you believe in, nothing that would careAnd the fire of desperation, that's your silent prayerThat's your silent prayer, that's your silent prayerThat's your silent prayerThat's your silent prayerThat's your silent prayer From Letras Mania
