the amazing devil - pray lyrics
[verse 1: madeleine hyland]
my eyes are made of winter and these hands i hold are skin and bone
oh oh
our bedsheets thrown, the meals gone cold
i know you, i know you of old
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
pray for me cos i won’t pray for you
oh oh
pray for me cos 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 s-x and sin
[chorus]
oh oh
pray for me cos i won’t pray for you
oh oh
pray for me cos 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 if 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
and 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 s-x 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]
