[Verse 1]
Beggin down on your knees
Don't know who's listening
Got your blinders on
Seeing pain, call for change
But you don't do a thing
Thoughts are all you've got
[Pre-Chorus]
You're screaming out your lungs
You love the echo ringing in your ears
You do it for the afterglow
Cause curtains close
And then the reckoning's still here
[Chorus]
Cause all you do is pray
Tell me how you pray
[Drop 1]
So things don't, so things don't
Change
So things don't change
[Verse 2]
Taller fence, gated drive
Your glass house unscrutinised
I guess we should have known
Cross your heart, hope to die
Cast a stone, dress in white
I guess that's how this goes
[Pre-Chorus]
You're screaming out your lungs
You love the echo ringing in your ears
You do it for the afterglow
Cause curtains close
And then the reckoning's still here
[Chorus]
Cause all you do is pray
Tell me how you pray
Cause all you do is pray
[Drop 2]
Yeah tell me how you
Yeah tell me how you
How you keep me in your
In your thoughts and prayers
Yeah tell me how you
How you keep me in your prayers
Keep me in your prayers
Yeah tell me how you pray
Yeah tell me how you pray
Yeah tell me how you
Yeah tell me how you
Tell me how you
Yeah, tell me how you pray
