Prayer

Waking life 
Watching myself from a distance 
Grown from you 
Endless imperfection 
I stumble on my words 
Spilled out to you 

Scenes spill in 
Scenes spill out 
And still I’m left 
With one I can’t forget 

And it’s here I’m left to remember you 

So what 
I didn’t need you anyway 
If I pretend 
This’ll make it all okay 
So what I didn’t need you anyway 
If I pretend 
This’ll make it all okay 

If only I could rise again 
After such a long, bitter sleep 
If only I could dream again 
After all that I have seen 

If I follow all the footsteps of 
The echoes of the past 
Will I ever know the truth 
That’s made me who I am? 

Whispered once 
The loudest scream of all 
The failing voice 
Forgot to speak 
When it mattered most of all 

So what 
I didn’t need you anyway 
If I pretend 
This’ll make it all okay 
So what I didn’t need you anyway 
If I pretend 
This’ll make it all okay
