i gotta sing

please you gotta let me sing for you somehow
this is a prayer to a God i treat as deaf
im screaming out my lungs even when no ones left
you're always there
i never talk
i always scream
you love so much
please help my voice
i complain a lot
i know i ask a lot
but i need your mouth to speak
please open my veins
clear away the wreckage
fill my limbs with light
let me shine like...
let me die on stage
let me be reborn
scream into the tomb of my throat
come forth

share the burden
i pray for it
i have an extra lung
with your name on it
i have a body going to waste
i cant believe you gave
this gift
i cant believe you gave

I've tried to listen
to the noise
I've tried the world
im a broken toy

Ive tried the bottle
i tired the smoke
i came out blind
i came out broke

fill my limbs with light
clear away the dead
bulldoze the bodies every time i die
these tears are not for you and i

drop to my knees and shake the world
