Ky Hollis - Gods and Teenage Girls (voice memo) Lyrics

I know believing is hard these days
I knew an atheist whose name was Faith
We laughed about it
Being called what you doubted
But I heard her say a prayer under her breath
A sound just barely there
A voice in need of rest
Saying "If you're there then, God, this is a test"
If I believe in you, will you believe in me?
I think both of us are just trying to be seen
Gods and teenage girls
Invaluable, invisible to the world
One gets prayed to
One preyed upon
Both get used
And life goes on
I guess what I'm saying is
We're not all that different
When Faith looked up
I looked away
I know believing is hard these days
I told her I see God in other ways
Not in the pews but in torrential rains
Then we walked home
And without warning the sky tore open
We made no move to shield ourselves
Or dry our clothes
Mascara running even faster than us both
I'd say it was the moment we became so close
Turning our stained glass into something to behold
If I believe in you, will you believe in me?
I think both of us are just trying to be seen
Gods and teenage girls
Invaluable, invisible to the world
One gets prayed to
One preyed upon
Both get used
And life goes on
I guess what I'm saying is
We're not all that different
When Faith looked up
I looked away
I know believing is hard
Girlhood's a prayer all its own
Divine and all-knowing
Vast and still unknown
It's proof that there's more gospel than religion
A love letter to connection
And elegy to what's missing
If I believe in you, will you believe in me?
