The Spinning Game - Canal Lyrics

I tried to pray to god for the first time in years
But it disappeared like smoke out of my mouth and through my ears.
There's no hope and there's no way to cope

I tried to pray for strength but I know better now
When every part of you as man made as every calm canal
And they keep paddling with no fear that they'll drown
While I'm dying in this drought you're sitting on your cloud

There's no hope and there's no way to cope

I tried to talk to you but you won't return my calls we're as
Distant as god was after the fall. My ego is a flaming sword
For truth and every time that it gets close I set fire to the roots

There's no hope and there's no way to cope

I tried to sleep tonight without having a drink I drew a circle
And I clasped my hands to pray but there's no hope and there's
No blanket to keep me from the cold
