I often wish I could still feel you
But most of the time I dream I could heal you
Of your bipolarity and crooked ways
Inconsistent mind and moody days
My God, my God, how dare you?!
Did you think I could stand in your absence?
Did you think I was strong or that I was wise?
Did I ever really belong or was I just waiting for my demise?
I need to be a part of something bigger than myself
But if I'm part of a larger lie I need to put you on the shelf
What happened to love, God? What happened to grace?
Have I lost you forever God? I have lost sight of your face.
How can you be all-powerful and truly loving
While you let souls in hell endure conscious suffering?
I don't care if it's a choice, I believed that you loved us
I thought that your powerful voice gave life to what was dust
I thought that we mattered, God
I thought our hearts were so precious
How can you scatter life away from your presence?
Not to mention the deaths that your book says you ordered
How can you kill and expect us to move toward you?
Are we alone in the universe?
Just birth to the funeral hearse?
Why are you silent?
I'm screaming as loud as I can!
At one time you were vibrant
Was that all made up in my head?
Where are you God?!
Where are you God?!
Where are you?!
