Lyrics

If this is gonna work
I need to confess my sins
Merciful father, accept these prayers for the sake of my soul
And I eat a lot of crap and then I talk a lot about this
World I cannot live upon
And how I wish I could end it all

Lord, lift up my heart and cut it open with your mind
And let me not think about my selfishness any more
And I dream a lot of dirty things and dirty men
And dirty words and wake up screaming, sweats and all
And then sleep again as nothing's wrong

Lord, I am not worthy
Not worthy to receive you
But only say the words and I shall be healed

If healed means I will never love another man
I'll never be a mother
And my future wasn't ever planned
And I will never hold these hands
And I can never keep a job
And I can never keep this up
This is my final prayer for love

Then let perpetual peace
Shine down upon your soul
And keep it safe and warm
And all you do, yeah

woh-yeah-eh
woho-yeah-ehea
I said, woho-yeah-eh
