Is God is watching?
God is watching you. He is watching me
Whether you are a believer or godless
He is ringing the dinner bell, come home
Heaven's table is crowded with the dead
Stay away a little longer to make room
Don’t do anything to shorten your life
Don’t be in the wrong place at the wrong time
He doesn't seem to care if you run away
Your grave will be your seat at the table
Watch me head to the liquor store instead
How can a Father not see, I need rescue?
I guess that’s what 5150 is for when lost
A shot of Zyprexa to take away loneliness
Is He tempted to reach out to innocents?
He's all powerful, but sent out his broken Son
Leaving me with a devil who watches over me
Making me wonder if its eyes are mine
Shut off my brain calling me home
Perhaps that’s why I reach for the bottle
A pacifier for grown-ups without a guardian
Accept us however we crawl, do more than look
This day has already gone to hell, intervene
I’ll wake up tomorrow fresh as a wilted daisy
Will He look for me when I'm wasted?
Perhaps He'll applaud silently from His last supper
How well I walk to the gallows, weighted down
Tear off my nametag. His touchless gaze maddens
Everyone comes home when their sentence is up
I look up at the cruel sun, but don’t see Him
I just hear the damn triangle banging faith
I begin to see like He does, the utility in a vapor
Why does He make faith so impossible?
I guess I’ll watch my water fall and rise
Like His favorite Son's blood on the cross
Feeling abandoned by his gaze
