In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost
I pray to get some answers, I need the most
You left me out in the dark, I feel no hope
I used to turn to you when I felt the tightening rope
I used to live in your light, now I'm alone and broke
I'm screaming at the walls, I just can't cope
I can't go on without you, I sit and choke
The fire turned to ash, all that's left is smoke
Waking up from a bad dream
Stumble to the kitchen, my momma got a cup of tea,
But I can't see
What the hell is going on with me?
She look at me like I'm Jesus
Boy, you better believe us
But the Lord can't please us
Faith is a sin now, you better release us
From church on Sunday,
And school on Monday
But I pray that one day
I'll be relieved of the pain that's mundane
Couldn't stay with one dame
So my dad went rogue, it's insane
And I say to myself I won't be the same
But I can't commit, I can't be tamed
So I get on my knees by my bed
Tryna get all these thoughts out my head
Gotta get a clear mind before I go dead
Getting all the prayers out, no matter what I said
Even if I don't believe in a God
Even though I think it's all a facade
I look to the sky, hope for a sign
Tell me I'm wrong, say you ain't lying!
I need you, Lord, to walk by my side
Gave up a long time ago, that's why
I haven't been in touch with you for a while
But that don't mean that I'm feeling fine
There's a knock on my door
Haven't heard it before
I'm afraid of the raven
Nevermore
In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost
I pray to get some answers, I need the most
You left me out in the dark, I feel no hope
I used to turn to you when I felt the tightening rope
I used to live in your light, now I'm alone and broke
I'm screaming at the walls, I just can't cope
I can't go on without you, I sit and choke
The fire turned to ash, all that's left is smoke
Grew up as a Christian
So I'm still hoping and wishin'
When I pray that someone's listenin'
But I don't even hear him hissin'!
Are you taking the piss, man?
Or am I a piss ant?
I'm pissed and feeling deceived, can
You tell me that I'm part of your plan?
But I feel like you left me
Stranded, abandoned
Didn't think that I'd be
Taken for granted
By the higher power that I
Put all my faith and hope into, you
Better pray for yourself, lord
If there's a day when I'm coming to you
Better meet me at the gates
Show me around your sacred place
Lie to me, tell me it's all great
Fill my head of your so-called faith
Show me the holy bunch of bologna
Find you a phony preacher to blow me
Scolded and lonely, teach me the only
Way to salvation, hatred won't hold me
But I've been through hell, I made it out
Whatever you say, I'll still have my doubts
So show me proof, what you're all about
Or leave me alone, remove your shroud
In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost
I pray to get some answers, I need the most
You left me out in the dark, I feel no hope
I used to turn to you when I felt the tightening rope
I used to live in your light, now I'm alone and broke
I'm screaming at the walls, I just can't cope
I can't go on without you, I sit and choke
The fire turned to ash, all that's left is smoke
