Erika Levy - Praying For Mantis Lyrics

To be the light is exhausting
To be the light is exhausting
To be the light is exhausting
It's exhausting

To be the light is exhausting
The saddest of Sundays
I know he's a jumper he's bound to go one day
Contemptuous spirit of youth here's a Mantis
Who's praying for peace, but he's giving me madness

Together alone, step on me I'm a stone
Don't you put me down
Waxing and waning oh why can't he say it?
I have it now
I had it.
I had it.

Now I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else

I showed him the embers
That's burning inside me
He's holding the fan now he ain't even trying
Igniting and writhing and dying in bed
I can't give him my word when I'm giving good head

I'm always waiting I'm ripe for the taking
Don't you put me down
I wanted crazy how could I complain
When I have it now
I had it
I had it

Now I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else

Out in the water
I wish I had told you
I saw out souls meet
Oooo they shined all over
Clouds and the seabreeze
You were blown into my arms
Can you feel me?
I'm letting go my love is free
You shined all over me
My love is free
You shined all over me
I'm not your baby
Everything got Hazy
Erase me
I can feel us fading
And I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone else
I don't want anyone.
