Before I waste my breath
Is there anyone listening
Because I'm scared to death
My words fall on deaf ears
I begged you for help
But still you're silent
I harbored this doubt
'Til it's incessant
Thoughts consumed me
Here at the edge
The fault lines appeared
I've tried everything
But God won't hear me
And now my voice
Rings hollow and weak
Rehearsed every word
So why don't you speak
Before I lose my faith
Like a memory forgotten
Just hope it's not to late
The fractures expose then
Through the cracks I beheld the sight
A lake of fire and a fading light
The sulfur burns my eyes
And blacks out the sun
Here at the edge
The fault lines appeared
I've tried everything
But God won't hear me
And now my voice
Rings hollow and weak
Rehearsed every word
So why don't you speak
God please hear me
My foes taunt me
Reproach breaks bones and soul the same
Their words are haunting
Where has your God gone now
The silence is so loud
When prayers become but echos lost in the dark
But God if you hear me
Am I to trace the fault lines back to their start
