Prayers Unanswered

by Steve   Oct 13, 2004


Today, as yesterday before I sleep
I'll clasp my hands and give you my speech
All I want is to feel loved as I love
To live a life full of joy from above
But I guess what I crave is too much to ask
So tomorrow I will change what I hope to grasp

Tomorrow, as today before I sleep
I'll clasp my hands and give you my speech
All I want is to know what its like
To live one day free as a kite
But I guess what I crave is too much to ask
So tomorrow I will change what I hope to grasp

Tomorrow's tomorrow, as today before I sleep
I'll clasp my hands and give you my speech
All I want is a moment refrained
To feel a second of liberation from pain
But I guess what I crave is too much to ask
So tomorrow I will change what I hope to grasp

Had I known that my prayers would come to such end
I would've never asked for anything here to begin
Were my prayers so worthless that it's not worth your time?
That you would pay them no heed and choose to cast them aside
But all I wanted is to have sorrows reprieved
To feel like I'm something that's actually alive

Now every night I lie on my bed
Hoping for a miracle that would make me forget
Staring at the ceiling with nothing to seek
Tears tracing down the sides of my cheek
I close my eyes and picture a scythe
Of the grim reaper, death, come to take me from life

So tell me now God if you are there
And if you would know that I'm still here
Why won't you answer my prayers my call
To leave me here by myself and alone to fall
I beseech and beg and you to drop me a line
And save me from this surrealistic nightmare refined
