Ritual Prodigalism

I'm exhausted in this life I've chosen
I walk down paths that lead away.
This so called freedom has chained me to heartache
I no longer know how to keep it at bay.

So now I pray
And now I weep
Seems every choice I make is cheap.
So now I pray
And now I weep
Every tear I shed, you keep.

At night I change my mind with weak indulgence.
As if I can erase the marks each dawn.
You stand in love and watch me crumble
And ache to see whom I call on.

So now I pray
And now I weep
Seems every choice I make is cheap.
So now I pray
And now I weep
Every tear I shed, you keep.

I am drowning in a lake of sorrow
And calling out for you to see.
I'm falling down a well that's empty
Wishing you could comfort me.
Please comfort me.

So now I pray
And you are here
All my problems disappear
So now I pray
You want to stay
Even as you watch me walk away.
