"Pray For You" lyrics

I kneel down in the dark
My hands are clean and warm
While somewhere far from here
People run from the storm

I close my eyes and whisper
Words that feel too small
What good are prayers from safety
When you've already lost it all?

I pray for you, I pray for you
From my untouched bed
I pray for you, I pray for you
But is that enough when you're already dead?

I bow my head in shame
My roof is still intact
My streets are quiet, safe
While yours have turned to black

I send my thoughts and prayers
Like that could stop the flame
But really I'm just hiding
Behind ritual and shame

I pray for you, I pray for you
But my hands stay clean
I pray for you, I pray for you
While you live the nightmare I've never seen

Maybe prayer is all I have
Or maybe it's an excuse
To feel like I did something
While I stay safe and removed

I pray for you, I pray for you
From a place you'll never reach
I pray for you, I pray for you
Forgive my comfortable peace
