Questions
I don't get it Lord
  This doesn't make since
 Why do I feel surrounded by loneliness?
  I don't understand why my heart is so heavy
  But when I tip it over it’s filled with emptiness. 
 Let’s just pretend...
  That I didn't exist,
  And all of my sins were just for pretend.
  And the only things that matter are my thoughts. 
 And how hard I try to be like them
  The people of the earth
 The children of the world
  Who teach me to be a bad girl
  And that beauty is only found in eyelashes n curls.
  They say to live for today
  because 2maro's the end of the world.
  They tell me “Don’t talk” because nobody’s listening.
  They say don’t beg 
 because their behinds, you'll be kissing. 
 But the more I obey 
 the further I’m drifting.
 I guess I should pray way more than I’m wishing
  Could it really be the end me
 Or could it be the end of them.
  could this really be true?
  Is this the end of all men? 
 could time finally stop ticking?
  can the devil really win?
  There’s so many questions and not enough time.
  Not enough words to go in this rhythm.
  not enough “sorrys” to fix this life
  not enough days before we all die...
 but before I  go let me say this-
 time only stops because we don’t hear the ticks.
 Love only fails because money makes it sick. 
 And our enemy only wins when we post the white flag on a stick
 But still I wonder
 What is defeat
 Is it when the other party says “mission complete”
 Or is it when your enemy falls to his knee
 Could it be when man gives in and pleads for mercy
 Lord, there’s so many questions floating around this room
 Spoken by the loneliness that fills my tomb
 And taunted by the emptiness in heart
 Betrayed by world and makes fear bleed from my wounds
 But I just listen and I don’t speak
 Why talk when nobody listens to me
 Why question a path that nobody seeks
 Why triumph the world when we’re all in deceit 
 I leave it up to you Lord, to rescue me.
 Amen
