“Paranoia Prayers”

🎵 Hook (whispery, melodic tension)

I send paranoia prayers up at 3 A.M. (real)

Can’t trust sleep, too close to the end (facts)

I say “God, watch over my sins”

But keep a tool close just in case He don’t bend

I pray out loud with my eyes still open (uh huh)

'Cause the ones I love be the ones I’m scoping

Cross on my neck, but I move like a threat

'Cause even angels forget to protect

---

I talk to God, then I talk to my .9

Some nights I don’t know who really replyin’

Been stabbed in the back by hands I kissed

So now I fold my hands with a backup grip

I ain’t holy, but I been through hell

So when I pray, it’s a war cry I yell

I keep hope, but my fears still lurk

So I sleep like I sin — alert and hurt

Even love come with a blurred ID

So I pray… but I still don’t breathe freely

🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 1:

“Talk to me.” / “I trust no one.” / “Still breathing.” / “Real pain.”

🎵 Hook (repeat with layered FX)

I send paranoia prayers up at 3 A.M.

Can’t trust sleep, too close to the end

I say “God, watch over my sins”

But keep a tool close just in case He don’t bend

I pray out loud with my eyes still open

'Cause the ones I love be the ones I’m scoping

Cross on my neck, but I move like a threat

'Cause even angels forget to protect

---

I don’t sleep, I just shut down slow

Countin' demons I used to know

Seen the reaper with my uncle’s chain

So I trust no face, no name, no lane

They say "faith without fear is peace"

But I learned faith in a place where pain don’t cease

I do right, but the world still spin

So I pray with a heart that won’t let them in

If paranoia prayers ever hit the sky

I hope God know why I still grip tight

---

🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 2:

“That’s facts.” / “Stay ready.” / “Cross and chrome.” / “God, hear me.”

🎧 Outro – piano echoes, siren reverb fades

(Spoken)

If I trust, I die slow.

If I don’t, I die alone.
