lyrics

god you’ve been quiet for a while now
and i’m wondering if you’re there
‘cause my eyelids are red and my friends are dead
so i’m speaking to the air
your voice relaxed when mine did
as if it never made a sound
so the wails of my blues danced around the room
and i sought comfort in their bounce

all of my fears are realized
looking in my father’s face
been praying to the lord since the day i was born
now i’m asking for it’s grace
i watched you sink into the bottle
while my world was being shaped
but your faith and its tricks they never did fix
what the babysitter raped

now i’m asking questions
that i’m scared to find the answers to
and i’m learning lessons
where once i was blind of what we do
put it all out of my mind to survive

reflect off the walls and sink in my bones
they’re telling me what i already know
the god i was raised on was only a show
pull back the curtain and find myself alone
