| Out of Date |
I prayed to a God that didn't listen
I begged a Goddess who seemed just as deaf
It seems like there is nothing
I'm drowning in a world of deception
Lies from the very mouths of babes
And it's all spinning out of control
Faith is tattered and long out of date
Not even drugs can kill this pain
This barely sane mind, this dull ache
I hear foot falls on the ceiling
Hands claw, hold me back
I saw the terror in that child's eyes
I turn in circles but all I see are blank walls
This prison cell reflecting myself
Trapped in a world vanished and gone
Well faith is tattered and long out of date
Not even drugs can kill this pain
This barely sane mind, this dull ache
Ain't no angels gonna greet me
The night has fallen and I lay awake
I feel myself slowly fading
And as I watch all the lights go out
I can hear the raging waters
And I find myself in this lonely darkness
No faith is tattered and long out of date
Not even drugs can kill this pain
This barely sane mind, this dull ache
So why am I still here you ask
I have no answers, I've not seen beyond
I've never spoken to any God
The hurt unravels me, tightens the cords
A lost battle even before the war has begun
And will I burn in heaven as I do down here
Well my faith is tattered and long out of date
And not even drugs can kill this pain
This barely sane mind, this dull ache
