Biography:
The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers is an enormous band centered around Perry Wright of Durham, NC. Wright formed P&T in 2003 and shortly after, released the band's debut, "Psalterie." The Radiohead-inspired, self-described "sad bastard music" propelled Prayers and Tears to regional fame and critical acclaim on the band's 2005 sophomore release "The Mother of Love Emulates the Shapes of Cynthia."

Douse it all in gasoline
Bm A G
And set this cardboard move scene on fire

That makes up everything

I tried to leave the county once
Bm
I called up the ambulance
A G
To take me away
D Bm
But a girl I met with a smoky voice drags my heart around like the other boys

But the time is always running out on you

You find it's always out on you

Find it's always out and you can't wait

But the time is always running out on you

You find it's always out on you
A
Find it's always out and you can't wait
D
Maybe after surgery
Bm A G
remove all my hyperbole and lies
D Bm
This quiet conflagration come to take us all to heaven
A G
As it sets this sickly stage of ours on fire

But we'll ignore this quiet night

And we'll ignore these city lights of fire

As they raise their hands towards heaven

And we'll ignore this eternity

And we'll ignore these heavenly choirs

And we'll ignore these city lights of fire

As they raise their hands towards heaven
Bm
And we'll ignore this eternity
G D
And we'll ignore these heavenly choirs
A
As they raise their hands towards heaven
Bm
You'll be holding on to me
G D A
You'll be singing quietly inside these city gates
G
As they burn away
