Dear God

(Album: Deathreats - 2018)

Maybe I need God
Maybe I want to believe, God
Maybe it's hard for me to speak
With someone that I've never seen, God
Lately I ain't been me, God
Shaky and on my knees, God
I'm awake and afraid and I can't fucking wait
For the end of the day to sleep, God
Please, God, I'm breaking
Been to hell and back and shook hands with Satan
But I'm over that, the light pulled me back
Though I'm hoping that you still hear me praying
It's so dark in my head right now
In my soul and my heart I feel dead right now
Reply if you heard what I said right now
God, please don't make me beg right now
I need help

(I'm a sinner)
Give me the strength that I need to let go of my past and get back on my feet
Give me the vision to see that the path that I walk is the one that I need
(I'm a sinner)
Give me the courage to dream, while I'm broken in half, nothing left deep inside
Give me the patience to wait for the day that I pray and you give me a sign

Hi, God, oh my, God
I fall everytime I climb, God
Give me a sign, God, I've tried, God
I'm caught up in too many lies, God
I swear to you if you help me now
I won't make the same mistake twice, God
I'm a million pounds on thin ice
I can't swim to save my life, God
Please, God, I feel weak
I feel the evil creeping in me
I see the shadows turn into crazy shapes
In my bedroom, I'm just tryna sleep
The devil crept in my dreams
And he kept me there 'til I screamed
It's worse than it was before, I'm growing devil horns
Through my crown of thorns, I plead
God, I need help

(I'm a sinner)
Give me the strength that I need to let go of my past and get back on my feet
Give me the vision to see that the path that I walk is the one that I need
(I'm a sinner)
Give me the courage to dream, while I'm broken in half, nothing left deep inside
Give me the patience to wait for the day that I pray and you give me a sign

I'm here, my son, don't fear, my son
Your prayers have reached my ears, my son
Had the pedal to the metal on a highway to hell
And I still just helped you steer, my son
My dear son, stay faithful
But faith doesn't make the day feel less painful
The Bible said that you would help me through
Well, maybe the Bible just isn't for you
Maybe you thought you were talking to God
But your prayers only made it to me all along
The noises you heard late at night, trying to sleep
On the window, the neighbors, the noises were me
I followed you here and I won't ever go
You'll never survive in this world all alone
Your selfish ingredient, scared of the truth
My son, I'm the only one who could love you
No!

(I'm a sinner)
Give me the strength that I need to let go of my past and get back on my feet
Give me the vision to see that the path that I walk is the one that I need
(I'm a sinner)
Give me the courage to dream, while I'm broken in half, nothing left deep inside
Give me the patience to wait for the day that I pray and you give me a sign

(I'm a sinner)
Sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner
(I'm a sinner)
Sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner, sinner

(I'm a sinner)
Give me the strength that I need to let go of my past and get back on my feet
Give me the vision to see that the path that I walk is the one that I need
(I'm a sinner)
Give me the courage to dream, while I'm broken in half, nothing left deep inside
Give me the patience to wait for the day that I pray and you give me a sign
