“Don’t Pray For Me” talks about how Danny Worsnop’s drug use and drinking problem had gotten so bad that the band needed to get him professional help to stop.
[Spoken Intro]
Hey everyone, everyone shut the fuck up
Alright, alright, Danny calm down
Everyone who thinks I'm a drunk piece of shit, put their hands up
This song goes out to you
[Intro]
Yeah!
Go!
[Verse 1]
You're fucking crazy if you think that I'll ever change
I am I, I am me, I'll never change my ways
I'm a monster and that's how I'll stay
Condemned to predetermined damnation for eternity
Damnation for eternity
[Chorus]
I don't want you to cry, I don't even want you to care
Don't you dare pray for me, no
There's things I bury inside to keep away from the light
Don't you dare pray for me
[Spoken Bridge]
Who here will support us in putting my best friend through rehab and making him better, put your hands up
[Verse 2]
I've been so far gone for so long and I can't keep my head up out the bottle
Holy fuck, why do I bother? I'm never gonna get any better
I've waited so long to declare, "I don't give a fuck if I die today"
Holy shit, I've lost my mind, reality is starting to unwind
Don't pray for me!
[Chorus]
I don't want you to cry, I don't even want you to care
Don't you dare pray for me, no
There's things I bury inside to keep away from the light
Don't you dare pray for me
I don't want you to cry (I don't want you to cry)
I don't even want you to care (I don't want you to care)
Don't you dare pray for me, no (Don't, don't, don't you dare)
There's things I bury inside (I don't want you to cry)
To keep away from the light (I don't want you to care)
Don't you dare pray for me (Don't, don't, don't you dare)
[Spoken Outro]
Ignore everything he says
Thank you for supporting us
Don’t Pray For Me was written by James Cassells & Ben Bruce & Danny Worsnop.
Don’t Pray For Me was produced by Joey Sturgis.
Asking Alexandria released Don’t Pray For Me on Tue Aug 06 2013.
The samples from the show come from a Seattle show during the tour cycle of Reckless and Relentless. Danny Worsnop was really drunk during the show and started to pick a fight against the crowd. The crowd then started to chant ‘drunk piece of shit at him’ leading to the intro of the song.

We wrote this album as a live record. We didn’t want to be one of those bands kids go see live and say, ‘Oh, they didn’t pull it off. It’s not as good live as it is on the record.’ We sat down and wrote a live record. We wanted it to be even bigger live if possible. In our minds, ‘Don’t Pray For Me’...
