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
I 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
 
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!
 
Oh, I needed a revolution.
 I never had a war in mind 
And now the river runs dry and the fall is deep
The truth is dark and makes us bleed
 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
 
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!

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!
