I tried to listen
But you would not speak
I asked you for strength
But you watched me grow weak
And you closed your eyes
While I cried myself to sleep
So forgive me for doubting
Your holy speech

I begged and I prayed
Into the loneliness of the night
And my faith never strayed
Yet you watched me surrender the fight

And so now
I let it all in
All the greed and the dark
And I welcome the sin
It blackens my heart
And darkens my soul
But at least my mistakes
Are things I control

And they claim that you're here
Watching from up above
But I know that's a lie
All the prayers, and the light, and the love

See the truth
Though you don't want to hear it
Is we're too hopeful in youth
And there's no Holy Spirit

We're alone from our first breath
To our last
Alone in our future
Alone in our past
And when death conquers all
There won't be light or winged men
Just the darkness of night
Just the end
