the prophet (you love me)

You love me like the sea floor loves an anchor
Your my destination, always headed down
Nothing like gravity to keep you at rock bottom
More water to block out the light and sound
You love me like an answer loves a question
On your own, you'd make a statement, you'd be fine
But even if I tried to be rhetorical
You'd still be on everybody's mind

Do you believe in destiny?
'cause I don't have a choice
I'm handcuffed to mine at all times
I lay in bed at night, and I stare at the ceiling
Because if I cried I couldn't say why

You love me like a person loves their showdog
You've whipped me into shape so you can win
I consume your every waking moment
I didn't ask to commit this unforgivable sin
You love me like a cave loves its stalagmites
Together I can make you look so cool
But without you, I'd be just some freak of nature
And without me, you'd still make the tourists drool

Do you believe in destiny? I'm sure you probably don't
It's a childish belief to uphold
But I can hear my future's voice in my ear
Saying, "Prophets always do as they're told"

Do you believe in destiny? Cause I don't have a choice
I'm handcuffed to mine at all times
I lay in bed at night, and I stare at the ceiling
Because if I cried I couldn't say why
Do you believe in destiny? I'm sure you probably don't
It's a childish belief to uphold
But I can hear my future's voice in my ear
Saying, "Prophets always do as they're told"

Prophets always do as they're told, don't they?
Prophets always do as they're told
Prophets always do as they're told, don't they?
