Past Praying For Lyrics
Crawling around me...
Sleepless eyes...
Your hands, they haunt me...
finger tipping down my spine.
Heaven forbid, well aware of your sins.
In the wake i'll be just like the rest.
Tell the sun don't fall, so we'll never forget.
Heaven forbid, well aware of your sins.
In the wake i'll be just like the rest.
Past praying for...
Always kept quiet...
Clenching my teeth.
Find me fighting the floor.
Raise me from my bones once more.
You're way past praying for.
I wouldn't want to wake you from yourself. ...
doesn't sit in your stomach just quite right.
Toying with time...
Lascivious stares and a dangerous rhyme.
Sleepless eyes...
Your hands, they haunt me...
finger tipping down my spine.
Heaven forbid, well aware of your sins.
Tell the sun don't fall, so we'll never forget.
Heaven forbid, well aware of your sins.
Past praying for...
Always kept quiet...
Clenching my teeth.
Find me fighting the floor.
Raise me from my bones once more.
You're way past praying for.
doesn't sit in your stomach just quite right.
Toying with time...
Lascivious stares and a dangerous rhyme.

i think that it's about sex, as well.
but she regrets it? "Your hands, they haunt me" not rape, but regret
maybe because he used her? "In the wake i'll be just like the rest." and that's why she regrets it.
This is an amazing song. Anyway "Your hands, they haunt me... finger tipping down my spine. Heaven forbid, well aware of your sins."
Sounds like sexual intercorse..
Probably unwanted fornication, or symbolism of remembering, reflecting and moving on.
i think its about someone kind of beyond hope in which there "way past praying for" and that there too far for her to help them.
versa rocks! =]
They did this song for a movie...But it didn't get picked so they just threw it onto the EP. I'm not sure what movie it's for, but it's probably based on the plot.
The first thing I thought was also sexual intercourse. I don't think it's unwanted, I think when she said "haunted" it meant more of a lingering feeling than a scared feeling. Bad choice of words?
if you watch their "Behind The Video" video for the music video, they say that they wrote it for a movie, but it didn't make it onto the soundtrack.
just in case no one know what movie this song was for, it was for Jennifer's Body.
Jennifer's body was great and so is Versaemerge. It should have made it onto the soundtrack. the thing is I actually thought this song went with that movie before I knew it was supposed to go on the soundtrack.
i feel like it wasn't rape but it wasn't completely voluntary either...almost as if she was pressured into sex and gave in but now realizes it was a mistake and it wasnt worth it
Given the fact that this was written for a movie, I'm curious as to how relevant this was to her to be able to write like this. seems very passionate and poetic, not to mention the musicianship is equally as impressive and gives the song much more personality. Great band.
