Counterproductive - Lost Cause (Pray) Lyrics

With no reason to believe
This shame means anything
My prospects are shot
And I'm left to entertain
Don't you worry; I'll close the door
Just let your two legs out
It's your style
To walk away when all the chips are down
No not again
With nothing to dull this ache
Except my lonesome mind
This silence paves the way
For the common kind
Of loathing reserved for
The wicked words that lent
To my pattern of sick
And desperate self-abandonment

So I pray
Yeah, I pray
Pray that I might one day find the way
So I try
Yeah I try
To keep you satisfied enough to stay

Respect is all I want
And all that I won't get
I've tired over asking you
To talk to me again
So softly I'll speak the words
That I need you to hear
'Cause I know you'll run away
As the words land in your ears
You wanna play games
I'll show you how that feels
Count me on out of
The writing on the wall
And take the thoughts away
That you may have been all
I needed to get me through
The weary ways of doubt
'Cause I know, I've fallen hard
And my face just hit the ground

So I pray
Yeah, I pray
Pray that I might one day find the way
So I'll try
Oh Lord I'll try
To keep you satisfied enough to stay

Here we go
First time
One more time

So I pray
Yeah I pray
Pray that I might one day find the way
So I try
Lord I try
To keep you satisfied enough to stay
Mercy me
Sweet Clemency
I knew I sinned but I thought it'd be free
Hear my prayer
Hear my plea
Without you I don't know if there is me
