Don't Pray For Me Lyrics

These four walls don't hold nothing but pain

Sipping from a wine glass to your tired refrain

I'm a part of you, at least that what you told me

The circle on the wall says it's time to reveal

No more wool covered eyes, no more blinders or shields

I've traveled my inner world in ways you could never imagine

And here I am running with the truth at my heels

I am trying to find some way to deal

With the wounds

Of the poison and pain

If you're down for the work, the train's leaving today

But don't pray for me

If it's just empty words save your energy

And don't call it love

If you smile at my face but won't fight for my place at the table

I have magical siblings who don't share the same blood

Getting killed on the streets of the land that you love

Hate is the weapon

Ignorance sharpens the blade

The dopamine slot machine you hold in your hand

Has you knelt at the altar of us versus them

People crying out for justice

What is it you're so scared of losing?

And Here I am running with the truth at my heels

I am trying to find some way to deal

With the wounds

Of the poison and pain

If you're down for the work, the train's leaving today

But don't pray for me

If it's just empty words save your energy

And don't call it love

If you smile at my face but won't fight for my place at the table

Thoughts and prayers might sound nice

Thoughts and prayers don't save lives

Thoughts and prayers might sound nice

Thoughts and prayers don't save lives

Thoughts and prayers sound so nice

Thoughts and prayers don't save lives

Were you listening to brother Ray that time he sang

None of us are free if one of us is chained

But don't pray for me

If it's just empty words save your energy

And don't call it love

No don't pray for me

If it's just empty words save your energy

And don't call it love, oh no no

Don't pray for me

Don't pray for me

Don't pray for me

Don't pray for me
