lyrics

I have roughly about five minutes
To spill my heart and everything that’s in it
Every pain regret mistake
Everything I’ll admit it
That’s why you’re here that’s why you listen
That’s why you’re listening

In the spring of eighty eight
I was a family’s third mistake
By ninety three learned of love and suffering
Pain and poverty
But that was nothing to things that haunt my dreams
Fears that pull me from the seams like tide into the sea

I still pray to God
Just not so very loud
I still pray to God
But not so very proud
I still pray to God
I hate the way it sounds

We die alone that’s fear I can’t swallow
I just can’t stomach all the faith I have borrowed
I’m still recovering from ghosts from past
Like the night my mom left my dad was a wreck
When my father was caught with a car full of drugs
Every reason you left, everything that I was
And I’m nursing the wounds with hope that is vacant
And I said that I’d be fine but I just I just cant take it now

This is what hopelessness looks like

I still pray to God
Just not so very loud
I still pray to God
But not so very proud
I still pray to God
I hate the way it sounds

If this is me raw then here’s secrets that I have masked
I cheated on her and ran from my past
And I lied and I stole I thought pain wouldn’t last
But now I swim through the guilt and I am still sinking so fast

So hey there lonely savior
If you’re somewhere looking down
Just know that I looked and looked
But you were nowhere to be found

But I still believe in miracles
