Heavenly father, gotta say I ain't been sleeping well
Keeping well, think I lost my faith in a wishing well
I take a coin and flip it, all comes clear as it falls
This ain't heaven's gates, but I see death, feel the claws
If not today then it could always be tomorrow
Our time is borrowed, no use wasting it in sorrow
So I've been working on myself, have I made you proud?
I'm just looking for a signal that you're still around

Heavenly father, it's been six years since I've seen her last
I still apologise, but it could not have been her time to pass
She was just a kid, with a whole life ahead of her
But now her only memory lies in roses and vetiver
Same patches of grass they lined with tiny tombstones
Never got to grow, but I guess it's all part of your plan
Maybe you're the same as I am, we all make mistakes
Made in the image of God, he got a babyface

Heavenly father, it's been five years since we met
Every day is on repeat, I hope it's coming to an end
Cut the outro, just fade out from the chorus
What's your plan moving forward, is there any more for us?
If you really got it mapped out, then it's destiny
And it doesn't matter what I do, everything was meant to be
So you took her from me, you nearly killed my mother
This is all your fault, guess you really ain't all loving
'Cause you're the cause of all this hurt
Maybe they flew too close to the sun, do angels wings get burnt?
Heavenly father, guess you deserted me again
But I'm gonna see you soon, we'll talk through it then

F*ck leaving a note, this is an open letter
So when we meet again they'll understand me that much better
Heavenly father, I just don't know what to do
Always looking for a cause, never thought bout blaming you
Cause we're put on this earth with the illusion of free choice
And with free will, we still choose to let the blood spill
Over the same fields with symbols of her memory
Enough is not enough, this conversations killing me
Father please hear me, I've been crying out for so long
I don't know how I can go on, knowing my whole life been so wrong
Never truly believed, I always wanted to
Total absolution in Christ, for the price of faith in you
I think that everybody has that moment
Where they have to take their pain and own it
Or they pass along the onus
In the firing of buckshot, you always catch a stray
Protect the holy spirit, keep the good followers safe
Father, hear me now, if you're still around
If you're still in every creature that ever made a sound
When they die, does a piece of you die too?
So we're not killing each other, we're only really killing you
And if I kill myself
Then your voice is gone for good
Think God forgot me on the rocks in search of cleaner fresher fruit
My spirit's destitute, ain't no hell or purgatory
Ain't nobody praying for me, I'm always by myself, I'm lonely
Even when we speak, I feel this bitter distance
There's a universe between us, this time I truly mean it
You say we'll meet again; if not now then when?
Maybe we're better off friends, still be together in the end
When our bodies laying dormant, food for worms and thought before us
As together we stay haunted by the things that always taunt us
Life's unanswered questions didn't get any clearer
Gather the sinners and believers see which side should truly lead us
Cause I been following leaders, playing both sides
Lighting sage that's wrapped in bible pages, praying over lay lines
High tales with some low lives, high fashion comes with low pride
Quick tumble but a slow rise, I fumbled but it's alright
Heavenly father, there's only one thing left to do
'Cause I was never scared of death, I was only scared of you

We'll talk through it then
The choir sings again
Just a mortal man

Life comes quick
But I don't care about it
Got nothin' left to give
Got nothin' left to live for

Keep 'em away, I'll come when it's safe
Keep 'em away, I'll come when it's safe
Keep 'em at bay, don't know when it's safe, yea
Demons at bay, I'll come when it's safe
Know it ain't safe, when I get messy
Know I was born with no blessing
Hit 14 before he met me
Father to only my chemistry
Raised by a single mother
Only child no brothers
Stayed inside under covers
Rope tied round my curtain rail for comfort
Saw the light on the other side say time to go
Closed eyes, I was born again paved a new road
Touched ground, left astound, dead on arrival
Came back same old shit plague my mind
Ways I found put me in the ground
Nodding out, same repeating sound

Keep 'em away, I'll come when it's safe
Keep 'em away, I'll come when it's safe
Keep 'em at bay, don't know when it's safe, yea
Demons at bay, I'll come when it's safe

Promises, sick of empty promises
Sick of my incompetence
Sick of fucking consequence
Never knew I'd make it
Never thought I'd see the day
Face the cause of my mistakes
Tomorrow's already laid to waste
May wake up in my casket case
Plans I made meant nothing, knew I'd flake
Life was never promised, could be mine He takes
All choices are final, hope it's mine He takes
My broken body dropping, Lord, please keep me safe
