Don't Pray For Me Lyrics

These four walls don't hold nothing but pain

Sipping from your wine glass to a tired refrain

I'm a part of you, at least that's 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 travelled my inner world in ways you'd never imagine

And here I am running with the truth at my heals

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

Oh no

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

Getting killed on the streets of the land that you love

If hate is the weapon, ignorance sharpens the blade

The dopamine slot machine you hold in your hand

Has you knelt ant the alter of us versus them

People crying out for justice, what's it you're so scared of losing

And here I am running with the truth at my heals

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'll 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

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
