"Prayer" lyrics

"Prayer"

Hallelujah
I'm saving you up
All for the day you leave

I held you in
While you shed your skin
And I read myself to sleep

I know it's ending but
I'm on the mend oh
Unbalanced triumphant and trying again

Speak up
Speak up
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

We made a deal
Oh god don't make me feel
I got addicted to us

Darling you've been
My greatest defeat
So hate me to death if you must

Earth weary twin
Baby don't let me in
I'm afraid I'm ablaze with the people I've been

Speak up
Speak up
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

The video for 'Prayer' was shared by Keaton Henson on the 12th of August 2020. The visuals were directed and edited by Geej Ower. Henson provided the footage for it.
Keaton Henson explained, "'Prayer' is a meditation on the act of preparing to lose someone, in whatever form that takes. It's about the feeling of helplessness, and the realisation that there are no words you can say to someone before they leave that will make it less painful when they do, as much as we feel like there must be."
