Ryan Prescott - Ceiling Lyrics

When I was young and I was
Frightened, I'd say a little
Prayer and hope that I could be
Enlightened, about my life and

When I was young and I was
Scared, I put all my faith into
Prayer looking to a power that was
Never there

But I grew up and got a
Feeling, that all I was doing was
Just kneeling, and talking to the
Ceiling

And I grew up and there was
Nothing, you wanna hit the
Top of the ladder then climb
Up it, and find something

And I grew up and there was
Nothing, you wanna hit the
Top of the ladder then climb
Up it, and find something

And I grew up and there was
Nothing, you wanna hit the
Top of the ladder then climb
Up it, and find something

I think I've always been a
Cynic, recognizing gimmicks
And swindling since the minute
I was swimming it

So when somebody's healed it's
Not religious is it? Cuz God
Only knows if the Lord is gonna
Listen

I never looked inside myself
Until I saw the truth, cuz I
Had faith to take the pain away
But never proof

And the longer I spent
Screaming at the wall, the
Plainer it got that there was
Nothing there at all

And begging and screaming and
Shouting and pleading, it's all
About getting it out when your
Heart is bleeding

And everyone prays even if
There's no religious meaning,
And trying to understand it is
A universal feeling, so

Why do I have to believe
Why do I have to comply
I already have my own shit
To rationalize

I got no help from above
I got myself and my love
For all the people around me
When the going is tough

Why do I have to believe
Why do I have to decide
Where I'll spend the rest
Of my eternity after I die

I got no help from above
I got myself and my love
That's all I need in my life
'Til my adventure is done

(When I was young and I was frightened)

(And I grew up and there was
Nothing, you wanna hit the
Top of the ladder then climb
Up it, and find something)

When I was young and I was
Living the life, with a
Romanticized version of a
Paradise, never knowing

What I'd become, never
Knowing what I'd see, just
Trying to find a point in
Continuing to be

I never looked inside myself
Until I saw the truth, cuz I
Had faith to take the pain away
But never proof

And the longer I spent
Wondering why, I was the
Way I was, I could have been
Looking inside

And begging and screaming and
Shouting and pleading, it's all
About getting it out when your
Heart is bleeding

And everyone prays even if
There's no religious meaning,
And trying to understand it is
A universal feeling, so

Why do I have to believe
Why do I have to comply
I already have my own shit
To rationalize

I got no help from above
I got myself and my love
For all the people around me
When the going is tough

Why do I have to believe
Why do I have to decide
Where I'll spend the rest
Of my eternity after I die

I got no help from above
I got myself and my love
That's all I need in my life
'Til my adventure is done
