My heart has never doubted You before, but lately my mind is not so sure. What if these prayers are only words? A dialogue between myself and the empty sky above? Is there a love behind this world? A voice beneath the static’s roar? I can hear it now.
There was no silence, just the sound – the white noise I used to drown You out. You never let go, my hands were just too numb to feel You. I was not lost, just turned around, my eyes fixed firmly on the ground. The sky was never empty, I was only looking down.
I am faithless, I am false. My certainty shot through with doubt. I paint shut the windows, bar the doors, then cry out for light inside these walls. Is there a love behind this world? A voice beneath the static’s roar? I can hear it now. O God, won’t You come down?
There was no silence, just the sound – the white noise I used to drown You out. You never let go, I just tried so hard not to feel You.
