Description
Don't pray.
The sound is like a note torn in the middle of the night: harsh, direct, and completely merciless. The voice is both a knife and a blanket: it cuts through the truth and then warms you with its cold clarity. Every line is a rejection of others' pity, a subtle smirk at saviors with the best of intentions. Here, they do not seek comfort; here, they push away embraces because they hurt more than they heal. The result is a heavy confession that, instead of repentance, asks for only one thing: to be left alone. It feels as if the door has slammed shut, leaving a note on the table, sadly funny and painfully honest.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
You make me feel so fucking broken
Only the pain inside reminds me of myself
Cut me open, watch me bleed
No saving grace, no sympathy
Found salvation six-feet deep
From you, I found nothing
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't fucking pray for me
Keep holding your breath, don't break the silence
With every word, you drag us further into Hell
Cut me open, watch me bleed
No saving grace, no sympathy
I found peace in misery
From you, I found nothing
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't fucking pray for me
Run away, back to the hole from which you came
(Run away) run away, out of touch and out of place
Run away, get the fuck out of my face
Don't pray for me
Don't pray for me
Oh, savior of the broken, go save yourself instead
All your good intentions will kill us in the end
Don't fucking pray (don't fucking pray)
Don't pray (pray for me)
For me
