lyrics

Layer Upon Prayer

Moaning and groaning she labours through the pain
Why she chose to suffer I could never explain
Leaves fall all around us, I see by candlelight
You are your mother’s mother so be that way tonight

We fuse another wick as the grease drowns the flame
But you know deep down inside it’ll never be the same
We fuse another wick as the grease drowns the flame
But you know deep down inside it’ll never be the same

Hey you call this living? I ask you what is life?
You father little girls to become somebody’s wife
Look all around you, tell me what you see
If it’s someone living, I tell you it ain’t me

You don’t think to look around you when the pretty girl has found you
You don’t think that she is possibly unreal
You don’t think to look around you when the pretty girl has drowned you
‘Cos love is something you could never feel
I was on the outside looking at the inside, my mind wasn’t all that kind to me, you see?
Now I’m on the inside looking at the outside, there’s no difference as far as I can see

Layer upon prayer, well were you right?
Look all around you it’s not a pretty sight
Torture and madness, see how people scream
They have stopped and told me this is just a dream

We fuse another wick as the grease drowns the flame
But you know deep down inside it’ll never be the same
We fuse another wick as the grease drowns the flame
But you know deep down inside it’ll never be the same

Well were you right?
It’s not a pretty sight
See how people scream
This is just a dream
