Lyrics The Obscenity Prayer - Mystery Weekend

The Obscenity Prayer

Insecurity is a really ugly trait
And it’s impossible to see
'Cause it’s written on your face
Just take a moment to think about all the times that you let it fall out of
your mouth
It comes back to haunt you
An apology can’t effect the past
But it can effect the future and the future’s coming fast
We’re sinking down to the bottom of this bottle and the sun starts coming up
We better call it an evening
And now I’m talkin' shit
'Cause lately I’ve been fucking feeling like old hat
'Cause there’s a million people better than me at the only thing I’m good at
And I don’t expect this feeling to be unique only to me so let’s fucking see
And I know that I don’t have the patience to outgrow or overcome things out of
my control
I can’t accept any less but any more and I’m a mess so I’ll bottle it all up or
I’ll let it go
Insincerity is filling up the bar
And it’s impossible to stop when you don’t know who you are just ask a few
friendly questions like «how are you?»
«What the hell are you doing here?
«And just try to stay honest
Immaturity is something I maintain
So when I see it in other people it’s impossible to complain
But I can still recognize it and it helps me recognize it in myself and try
each day to be better
And I know that I don’t have the patience to outgrow or overcome things out of
my control
I can’t accept any less but any more and I’m a mess so I’ll bottle it all up or
I’ll let it go
I probably said a couple things I didn’t mean
I probably said a couple things about a thousand times
I probably said it didn’t matter to me but it matters
I probably said a couple things I didn’t mean
I probably said a couple things about a thousand times
I probably said it doesn’t matter to me and that I don’t care at all and that
it don’t mean a thing but it matters
