Sampha - Timmy's Prayer lyrics

[Intro] If ever you're listening If ever you're listening If ever you're listening [Chorus] If ever you're listening If heaven's a prison Then I am your prisoner Yes, I am your prisoner I messed up, ooh I know now There's no room for me to play now Nowhere to dig my way out [Verse 1] My vital organs are beating through My ribcage opened, my heart ballooned I... I've lost another one I'm on the floor trying to dress my wounds Address the fact it was mine to lose I... I didn't try enough And when I'm left without your love It could feel like a lifetime baby And somewhere in the start we had it alright Sunshine and blue skies, yes I call But now there's a darker blue I'm bleeding and you don't care The sun sinks and you're not there [Chorus] If ever you're listening If heaven's a prison Then I am your prisoner Yes, I am your prisoner I messed up, ooh I know now There's no room for me to play now Nowhere to dig my way out [Verse 2] My brother always said I'm a dreamer, dreamer You better watch out where this life will lead ya And he always said she's a keeper keeper She'll stay by your side when the rest will leave ya Well I'm looking on my left side, I'm looking on my right She's nowhere to be seen now when I close my eyes at night Dreaming, surely you can find me by the shore I'm singing so blindly, can you hear me? Can you find me? If you find me, wanna tell you I love you so I wanna tell you that love comes and goes That it comes and goes I hear the footsteps in the water and I feel the breeze I open my eyes and no words, no words... I wish that I listened when I was in prison Now I'm just a visitor I came to the gates but you turned me away You asked me what am I waiting for I'm waiting cause I f**ed up, ooh I got thrown out I don't know which way to go now Don't know which way is home now [Chorus] If ever you're listening If heaven's a prison Then I am your prisoner Yes, I am your prisoner I messed up, oh I know now There's no room for me to play now Nowhere to dig my way out
