God Knows.
God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart,
In that room of pain and rememberings that's tearing you apart.
You must have kissed the girls and made them cry,
And it's been a while since you're tears ran dry.
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes.
Yes, He knows how you break with all those empty lies.
And even all those hardfaced Queens of misadventure
Once longed for love over a lecture.
God knows what is hiding in that world of little consequence
When you couldn't build a wall so put up that fence.
You must have known it would keep them out
Welcome, all of those who abandoned hope and cradled doubt
God knows what is hiding in those cold and broken minds
To have pushed away the good hearts and drawn the blinds
He knows how you recited those lies to a one man audience
You told yourself it was for protection but burned out the guardians
And if that was common sense, and if everyone that circumvents
Claimed to have the brain to rise above the mundane,
I would wish to stay forever young and dumb
Than to be like the once vibrant souls gone numb.
For if I had a brain to lead me astray
I'd be cold as stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away.
But behind the tears and inside the lies
Burns a flame of longing nestled among severed ties
When you cut the rope and turned a blind eye
That flickering flame refused to die
God knows who is hiding behind that painted mask
He knows they're dreams and hopes and for what they ask
A fiery throng of muted angels does burn black
It's hard giving love and getting nothing back
God knows who is hiding behind the thickest walls
When every window is blocked and corpses roam the halls
A thousand slowly dying sunsets come and go
But if you can't see them then you'll never know
God knows who is hiding behind an angel's smile
It's the tortured, helpless soul that dies out after a while
And God sends out his children to hold those weeping forms
But you have to open up before the tears become the storms
God knows who is hiding behind a wretched prayer
How you hate the game and once worshipped the player
God knows how you pushed him away for pride
Oh the pain had come but you had never cried.
And if that was common sense, and if everyone that circumvents
Claimed to have the brain to rise above the mundane,
I would wish to stay forever young and dumb
Than to be like the once vibrant souls gone numb.
For if I had a brain to lead me astray
I'd be cold as stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away
Tear out the walls and chains that bind you so
And cry a little to learn of letting go
Do not give up, there still is love
Someone loves that God above
Embrace the helping hands and good hearts
Tonight there will be no more fall-aparts
Let someone slip back in to hold you tight,
And banish the dark with a little light.
