Pray by The Amazing Devil Lyrics
[Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland]
My eyes are made of winter and these hands I hold are skin and bone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Our bedsheets thrown, the meals gone cold
I know you, I know you of old
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pray for me oh children pray for what I've I've I've I've done
I'll haunt the very wrinkles of your skin
Pray for me, I'll run until I begin to understand
What holy men really mean
When they speak of sin
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for you
[Verse 2]
If you knew all that I'd done
The words that shone are all but gone
Oh, oh
The hearts I've broken, the minds I've woken
Sweet nothings are screamed not spoken
Oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
God made all man in his image
Honey I'm I'm I'm no man
I'm what’s left when children go to war
Run from you, I'll run until I begin to understand
What holy men really mean when they speak of sand and sons and seams and symphonies and sweat and sex and sin
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
You
[Ad-libs]
[Bridge]
Pray for me oh children pray for what I've I've I've I've undone
I cannot sleep when all you do is cry
Pray for me, I'll run until I begin to understand
What holy men really mean when they speak of all that's been and all that won't
And all you do and don't
Why you cannot sleep for sighing
Why womanhood is more than crying
I'm stronger now than you have ever known
The cracks you made I fill with mortar
A broken pot can still hold water
Symphonies and sweat and sex mean nothing when you are obsessed
With sin and soil and strength and song and all the words that came out wrong and him
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
(I won't pray for)
My eyes are made of winter and these hands I hold are skin and bone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Our bedsheets thrown, the meals gone cold
I know you, I know you of old
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pray for me oh children pray for what I've I've I've I've done
I'll haunt the very wrinkles of your skin
Pray for me, I'll run until I begin to understand
What holy men really mean
When they speak of sin
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for you
[Verse 2]
If you knew all that I'd done
The words that shone are all but gone
Oh, oh
The hearts I've broken, the minds I've woken
Sweet nothings are screamed not spoken
Oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
God made all man in his image
Honey I'm I'm I'm no man
I'm what’s left when children go to war
Run from you, I'll run until I begin to understand
What holy men really mean when they speak of sand and sons and seams and symphonies and sweat and sex and sin
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pray for me 'cause I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
You

I won't, I won't pray for
(I won't pray for)
