Waking Up In a Paranoid Sweat

Pray
Can you hear it?
The choir boys are singing
The birds are joining in just like a school bell ringing

Pray
Through receivers
Cold calling non-believers
I spend my nights preaching good fiction at my leisure

Pray
Like you mean it
Before all of the screaming
Gather thoughts and prayers for when you really need them

Pray
Give me healing
Where's my non-believers?
Just let that wind carry your body through the seasons

Heaven knows we need you now
Not a word out of your mouth
Watched you leave without a sound
Heaven knows we need you now

Pray
In the paper
The names you won't remember
There's young blood dripping on a page of human nature

Pray
Can you feel it?
It's right below your collar
Some well rehearsed words you keep written on a dollar

Heaven knows we need you now
Not a word out of your mouth
Watch you leave without a sound

Heaven knows we need you now
I never needed a reason, I'm the king of everything
You thought moons and tides moved the seasons, but I'm the king of everything
