So I'm not too sure about anything but,
"I'm semi-automatic,
My prayers schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on"
Basically I think, that he doesn't think what he is doing first. He is so used to what the world tells him to do that he doesn't even give it a second though.
Schizophrenia means "split from reality", it is a mental illness where patience experience social isolation. Although the most well know symptom is hearing voices, sometimes to the point of not knowing the difference between real voices and the voices inside the patience's head.
So either Tyler is hearing voices during and after his prayers, or that he is isolated from God during his prayers.
I personally think the second one. The struggle to connect with God is a common theme for TØP songs. However, hearing voices is also mentioned sometimes. I still think that isolation better fits this songs context.
Despite the no-questions-asked conforming to society and the isolation from God experienced, Tyler goes with it.
