"Cairo" lyrics

Blinded by the cover hidden on my back
Still got a tattoo of another scar from my past
I think the wolves are at the door, they're gonna tear me down
Still got a tattoo of a lover I can't ignore

Like I'm waiting for the rain in Cairo
Clear my mind of hieroglyphics, let it go

So won't you pray for me
Won't you pray for me
I'm begging you to pray for me, pray for me
Rip this burden off my back
Is there any point in saving me, saving me
Or am I falling way too fast
Won't you pray for me

Treading troubled waters while the birds they laugh
I hear them singing that they're stronger
But all I want to ask is can I please just use your wings so I can fly above
I need to free myself of slaughter and break away from love

And I'm waiting for the rain in Cairo
Clear my mind of hieroglyphics, let it go

So won't you pray for me
Won't you pray for me
I'm begging you to pray for me, pray for me
Rip this burden off my back
Is there any point in saving me, saving me
Or am I falling way too fast
Won't you pray for me

Pray what I got left's gonna work out right
Pray what I got lefts' gonna work out right

Won't you pray for me
Won't you pray for me
I'm begging you to pray for me, pray for me
Rip this burden off my back
Is there any point in saving me, saving me
Or am I falling way too fast
Won't you pray for me

Pray for me
