Stupid Faith
100 miles
It's pretty far
Feels like a loss
Not far by car
But Too far for a rock to toss
The deadening silence of your voice
Slices to my core, it's a salty wound
Made worse by your choice
I see your smile everywhere I roam
Its sincerity demolishes my pain
It convinces me that I'm home
Every minute I wish to see it again
when it's gone the hurt returns
And this feeling grows stronger
Feeling my heart, I feel it, it burns
Can't take this pain, how much longer?
Wish I could present you with a gift
Not something to make your heart rift
Something like a basket of oranges
My love language speaks gifts and time
Much different than yours is
Like an impossible rhyme
Too difficult to have faith for long
Everything our so-called god lets go wrong
Like a cut rope, tying it back, not as strong
That same fear of a loss will continue
Throughout the ages
How many times do i place my faith in you?
I fear ending up just one of your pages
How could he allow it to happen?
I swear he's terrible
Faithfully followed and obeyed
To me, he’s horrible
Too hard to have faith in my class
People say he works in a mysterious way
He’s more like a kid with a magnifying glass
On an ant that can't run away
I may be just sad
I may be just mad
I may just go back
To the day I had
You all to myself
God gave me that day
And you know what they say...
It's better to have loved and lost
-F*ck that!
He's the one that took you away
Too hard to find trust in god
Even Joseph Smith couldn't erase this heart
Like a stranger, you just give a nod
I don't know him since he tore us apart
I'll probably see you again someday
Only when it's my moment to shine
Faith is too hard to have today
Till then ill sit here and whine
