God Eats Children

No one saw this coming

but you never do

it only takes a second

to taint everything you knew

In the time it takes for your day to start

Your whole world could fall apart

Five years from where you were

did you really think you'd be where you are?

Neither did I...

But it's so easy to blame yourself

So let's not try

Just shut your mouth and sew your eyes

curl up in a ball, let's get ready to die

Now doesn't that feel better still

Well if it doesn't, it soon will

'Cause there's no future from where I stand

While we hope we can

pawn our problems on somebody else

I need the touch of a God, 'cause I can't handle myself

But God is hungry

and he needs to eat

So let's start the feast...

God eats children

He always has

They don't succumb to fate

they're just on his plate

because we lined them up

and put them there

then prayed and hoped as if we cared

Because we didn't see the future coming

Too late to catch, so why start running?

Now when life gets us down

We put our knees on the ground

So if you need us, that's where we'll be

No need to worry, we're not on our feet

Without these prayers, I don't know what we'd do

It's pretty scary when it's only you
