Unheard Prayers

Don't you want to be together in our next life?
My father asks me to pray
I am sorry, I don't believe in god anymore since he left me alone in every way
Spent hours on my knees, whispering quietly
The only thing that came back was the echo of my own voice,
loud and unpredictable, drowning out everything else
My parents don't force me, not on religion itself
But you'll find happiness, I promise
With god you'll only have to be honest
You know, he is omniscient
Honey, he won't answer but he'll listen
But doesn't he listen everyday, to the deserted agony of my inner child,
the roaring silence and the twisted lies I smiled, doesn't he listen everyday
And the only thing he can do is to look away

Yeah, he is omniscient
That's the problem, isn't it, he'll only listen
And watch while we break apart
And father you tell me, that's how we are going to be connected by heart?
