Alone (Song)

by @TomoDOTchi

Alone in a crowd All heads bowed to pray I said all the words the preacher said to say I followed the rules Tried to stay in the lines that were drawn for me I couldn’t question why but I’m all out of faith don’t think I can stay here with you don’t where to go don’t think I can know what’s really true Alone in a crowd among a thousand faces all wearing a mask tryin’ their best to fake it Just follow the rules and stay in the lines don’t let ‘em see you breaking and don’t you dare cry but I’m all out faith don’t think I can play at this no more don’t know what to do don’t know what I’m even praying for I want to know your hear me I’m so fucking scared that all that I’ve believed in was never really there Did I really know you loved me was I just puttin’ on airs oh please just fucking say something, God I want to believe you’re there Alone in my room left with my tears I read that you catch them and treasure them dear Do my cries matter to you these words that I pray I’ve got nothing left, Jesus Please don’t go away

Notes

(Language warning) this is to all the kids who grew up in a church that they came to feel as though they no longer belonged in.
