Lyrics

[Intro]
"Will all who wish to die please raise their hands?"
[Verse 1]
I'm not lost in the dark
I'm not blind to what I see
I know the river is wide, and the water is deep
I feel the cold, my heart skips a beat
[PreChorus]
Don't need your absolution, so don't hold that sword over me
For my confessions, I don't need a church
I don't need salt to know where it hurts
[Chorus]
Don't pray for me, no
"Will all who wish to die please raise their hands?"
I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don't pray for me, don't pray for me
[Verse 2]
Oh, I needed a revolution
Never had a war in mind
And now the river is dry, and the fall is deep
The truth is dark, and it makes us bleed
[PreChorus]
In hell is where I stand, it's where I find my inner strength
For my confessions, I don't need a church
I don't need salt to know where it hurts
[Chorus]
Don't pray for me, no
I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don't pray for me, don't pray for me
[Outro]
"I'm going to let you pray for me"
I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don't pray for me, don't pray for me
