God don't leave me behind I'm not a ****** And I'm no thief You show me love Through every way You know how And ignore you, all the same I don't acknowledge you as much as I should Yet you bless me I try to mend broken hearts I care for those who don't care about themselves I strive to make this world a better place Isn't that enough to hear at least a word I wished I loved you as much as my lover does But I don't want to love you because I'm afraid my lover will eventually leave me if I soon don't Although not loud enough to drown my praise and love for you Small thoughts linger in my mind wondering if there's anyone out there hearing my pleas I want to edify people's lives But what good am I without you But all the same I ain't no saint or priest Can I deal with not believing in you? If not you, than who or what I'm distraught, and falling apart Yet when I forget to remember you are there I seem to be alright What if I get to the point where you completely leave my mind Nonsense, hope I fear not that thought Strip me down and take me bare Take everything away from me And give it to someone who deserves it more Perhaps my lover is overdue for your bliss I know I ain't no one to demand you show yourself to me Make me miserable and take me on a search Trouble me until you show me light or let me die I don't want to be voluntary to your love You must force me to focus my love on you and no one else How can this burning love and pain for humanity Be randomly in my soul Surely, there's something that's pushing me there And that has to be you My carnal body sins and I'm ashamed But if you really want to show your love Control my mind My body ain't worth a dime But my soul screams I want out! There is a spirit in me and its searching for that place it belongs The thought of a mechanism in the psychology of my mind Faintly lingers while I research myself Pure intentions then fight with cynicism invading the border lines But how can man manufacture the soul Am I being cynical for thinking maybe someone has or soon will God is there a point in not believing in anything Converting and finding myself in such a way is just a game How can there be meaningfulness and purpose without faith You have to be real but why don't I consider you in everything I do Life is going so fast I stray away from hearing Music praising your name Because I'm ashamed that I haven't prayed today Suddenly I get annoyed Why? Because I'm reminded to thank you for keeping me alive You should be the center of my day I'm sorry In your love I want to change And I don't want to feel guilty about being with the one I love God don't leave me behind

God, Threatened Down to the Core
