God , are you really there?
My brother just kissed me on the lips
God , are you really there?
My grandpa just touched me and on my hips
God , can you hear me?
Grandma just screamed at me all night long
God , can you hear this?
Mama made my life a beautiful song
God , can you still see me?
'Cause all that you did was stare
God , can't you see?
or you just don't care
God , where are your hands?
Why aren't you leading me the way?
God , I can't stand
Hold me , just for today
God , Are you ignoring me?
I'm screaming out your name
God , are you really there?
Please tell me i'm going insane

voice cracks
bony fingers
small eyes
my tummy tingles

red lips
small ears
eyes meet
I'm weak

long torso
big feet
open heart
lips meet

one lie
two lies
you told me
please hold me

cold eyes
distant body
he forgot me
he just left me

long naps
touched pills
small frame
be tamed

heart broken
just a moment
leave me be
forever solemn
