God in a Box
Posted: Fri May 12, 2023 2:11 am
You put God in a box
And threw away the key
You carved your face on top
And gave that box to me
Locked away, in the sky
Out of reach, why did I
Try and try and try
So hard to love the god
You said was inside.
Now the ghost of that god clings to me
Dirties my thoughts, my sanity
I tried to get rid of him but he follows me
Into the confessional, still chasing me
Each Sunday morning I can't look at the cross
Hanging over the alter, found but still lost
To me.
Because whenever I do
I can't help what I think
I hate your god and he hates me
I can't look at My God
You stole him from me
Because he's wearing your face
And that's all I can see.
And threw away the key
You carved your face on top
And gave that box to me
Locked away, in the sky
Out of reach, why did I
Try and try and try
So hard to love the god
You said was inside.
Now the ghost of that god clings to me
Dirties my thoughts, my sanity
I tried to get rid of him but he follows me
Into the confessional, still chasing me
Each Sunday morning I can't look at the cross
Hanging over the alter, found but still lost
To me.
Because whenever I do
I can't help what I think
I hate your god and he hates me
I can't look at My God
You stole him from me
Because he's wearing your face
And that's all I can see.
