A God

I really needed a god
Catatonic promise that there's beauty at the end
I never wanted a dog
Or anything that I'd love too much then wake up and it was dead
Am I still what I thought?
Writing my own melodrama and following the law
The country is a facade and I wake up in primal states
Of hunger lust and love
Hunger lust and love

Please please please forgive me
I thought it'd be so easy
And I thought that you would love me every single day
And I would never have to wonder if you'd stay

Someday when I live abroad
I'll sit on the streets on Sunday and hear cathedrals call
I'll sit by the windows with all the veiled ladies who never learned the songs
And I'm just like a kid again
I laugh when the hymns slip up my neighbor's tongue
Stuck there in the windows are all the dreams I prayed for each night when I was young
I really needed a god then

Please please please forgive me
I thought it'd be so easy
And I thought that you would love me every single day
And I would never have to wonder if you'd stay
