What The Mind Perceives

The cold chill of guilt runs through me again
bowing to you, saying my prayers
all for you to not be there

torn into what's been force fed to me
and what my mind perceives
waiting for me to accept your word
into my life and repent
where were you, god?

no longer, a threat of mine
it's all what the mind perceives

these scars of failure were once a desperate cry
proving to me, that there is no hope beyond the sky

every time i need your guide
your back is always turned to me
i choose to believe in fact
not fiction forced upon me
where were you, god?

no longer, a threat of mine
it's all what the mind perceives

your helping hand was called again
and once again i'm left alone
the hate that fills my head with doubt
is the hate that fuels my disbelief

in spite of my dreams, i can't believe
in spite of my dreams, you were not there
in spite of my dreams, i can't believe
in spite of my dreams, you are not real,

my god is dead, beliefs have been
ripped from my chest
hate me, hate you,
my mind is set, you are not real
i must forget, i have been deceived,

lie to me, make me believe, i can not see,
past these false hopes and all these fallacies

no longer, a threat of mine
it's all what the mind perceives
