Silence Answers Nothing

God
Are you listening?
Or is it just silence again?

I wore my knees into the floor
Tracing prayers I said before
Every word just disappeared
Like you were never really here

I called your name into the dark
Watched it fade without a spark
All I ever got from you
Was silence bleeding through

I tried to believe
But you never reached for me

This life was never a blessing
It's a weight I can't outrun
I scream until my chest is empty
Still you never come

This life was never a blessing
Just a shadow over me
Every time I beg for something
Silence is all I see

Where were you when I fell apart?
Drowning in a hollow heart
Every piece you left in me
Rotting in eternity

Faith is slipping through my hands
Like it was never meant to stand
Still I'm begging on my knees
But no one answers me

I tried to hold on
But you were already gone

This life was never a blessing
It's a weight I can't outrun
I scream until my chest is empty
Still you never come

This life was never a blessing
Just a shadow over me
Every time I beg for something
Silence is all I see

You never answered
You never cared
All I got
Was empty prayers

Every time I called your name
I was left in fucking pain
Every
Single
Time

Did you ever exist
Or was I alone all along?

A voice inside the void
That I followed for so long

This life was never a blessing
It was never meant for me
I'm screaming into endless nothing
Hoping you might see

This life was never a blessing
Just a wound that never heals
And every time I reach for something
Silence is all that's real

Living hurts
More than I can say
And silence
Never goes away
