about
i like the chorus of this song and the verses are ok. i hate the bridge lyrics. they sound forced and overly antidotal. As if the song needed some "a-ha moment" to be effective at all.
lyrics
a plastic prayer to a plastic divinity on my wall
my left arm is numb, and i'll put my faith in anything at all
chorus:
i'm on the outside of an icon
my heart is beating like a bass drum
and i don't want to breathe my last breath
i don't want to leave this world with just my death
my friends all say
that i spend too much of my time all alone
through their e-mails and messages left on my cell phone
and i know that they are right, but i don't want to leave
these almighty paintings
i'm staying up all night, and calling afternoons my mornings
chorus
bridge
should i just stay here and wait for a miracles kiss?
the doctor costs too much so i can't go back
i'm clutching this old rosary so hard it's making marks
it may seem crazy but for now it's all i have
chorus
