Lyrics for Song: God
Lyrics for Album: 22 Dreams [2008]
And I looked up
And I spoke to God
And God said
Look at you, don't look at me
You only call on me when you need me
And when you don't, you hardly think of me at all
I don't enter your head for weeks at a time
And the times I do
They're in your despair
That you created, not I
And still, you look up to me
In such pleading terms
That how can I deny you?
But don't look at me, look at you
Don't look at me, look at you
And every night I pray to God
Please save the lives of those I love
Or take me instead
If you really need someone
To keep you company
On a golden chair in the glare
Bring your Gods to the table
And recite your prayer
Lose all your hatred
If you are to pray in there
The temple you're seeking
Is in front of your nose
Because the message you're giving
Is doing nothing for those
(Seek, you shall find - repeat)
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest (repeat)
