are you there?
All of my prayers
Are just quiet calls for help
I Can't tell someone real
But I've just got to let it out
Please god are you there?
Are you listening? it's me
I could use a little help
Cuz I just can't fall asleep
I need a little comfort
Even if you're fake
It's not like anyone on earth
Cares about me anyway
Hey god are you there
Are you listening? It's me
I know it's been a long time
Since I've believed
Every time I breathe
I can feel my heart ache
I'm overwhelmed by this sadness
And it just won't go away
My world is getting darker
It's been like this a while
It's getting harder to find color
And reasons to smile
Hey god are you there
Are you listening? It's me
Please don't make me wake
After tonight's sleep
All of my prayers
Are just quiet calls for help
But no one seems to notice
And I've just got to let it out
The blades no longer help
Me to feel alive
I don't feel anything at all
So why do I still cry
Hey god if you're real
I guess I'll see you soon
There's only a thin barrier
Between me and you
Hey god are you there
There's one thing I must ask
Can I still get into heaven
With a rope around my neck
Please let me into heaven
That's my last request
