Prey Lyrics by Diveliner

American Punishment

2023

[Chorus]
We were young and we all were prey
I was young and I used to pray
Too young to see why you were afraid
This american life, ain't it something else
At times it's pretty nice, but I keep a gun around

[Verse 1]
Been waiting for a call from you for a lifetime
Sorry, bogeyman, I'm busy having night terrors
I checked the news again
When I tell you that I get nightmares every night
Take me back to Tampa or take me home
I get you back some

[Chorus]
We were young and wе all were prey
I was young and I usеd to pray
Too young to see why you were afraid
This american life, ain't it something else
At times it's pretty nice, but I keep a gun around

[Verse 2]
There's fire in my eyes
This fucking place is burning down
I want to love you while I protect myself
It looks like Scampia out here of the fire escape
I was young when I wanted kids
(I'm still pretty fucking young, but)

[Chorus]
We were young and we all were prey
I was young and I used to pray
Too young to see why you were afraid
This american life, ain't it something else
At times it's pretty nice, but I keep a gun around

[Outro]
A history of violence
A history of violence
A history of violence
A history of violence
