[Verse 1] You call my name like a knife Soft lips, hard lie I read your eyes, that flash Like a snare in the dark You say come close Then you pull back fast I taste that fear on you Still I stay on track [Pre-Chorus] Is this mercy? Or a mark on my back? I’m knee-deep in the fire And I like it like that [Chorus] Prey or prayer Which one am I? Prey or prayer Look me in the eye Pray for me Or pull me down Prey or prayer I’m still around (still around) [Verse 2] I walked in with a scar You walked in with a grin Your hands like a promise Your silence like sin I know that look too well It means trouble’s near But I want that trouble If you hold it here [Pre-Chorus] Is this mercy? Or a mark on my back? I’m knee-deep in the fire And I like it like that [Chorus] Prey or prayer Which one am I? Prey or prayer Look me in the eye Pray for me Or pull me down Prey or prayer I’m still around (still around) [Bridge] Say my name slow Let it shake your chest If I’m going under You go first, I guess One hand on the throne One hand on the blade We both want the answer Neither one prayed (neither one prayed) [Chorus] Prey or prayer Which one am I? Prey or prayer Look me in the eye Pray for me Or pull me down Prey or prayer I’m still around (still around)
