The Faithless

(Verse 1) I built my altar out of bones, Lit the fire, prayed alone. You watched me crawl through every sin, Still took the only peace I'd been. (Pre-Chorus) I spoke Your name till my voice gave out, Now the silence is what I shout. (Chorus) I’m one of the faithless, Still begging for a sign. You say You’re in the ashes, But I only taste the grime. If love’s the lesson, teach me why The purest hearts still bleed to die. (Verse 2) I’ve seen the saints with hollow eyes, Turn their backs, baptized in lies. I found no mercy in their hands, Just empty words and wedding bands. (Pre-Chorus) I keep my prayers beneath my breath, Trading grace for quiet death. (Chorus) I’m one of the faithless, Still begging for a sign. You say You’re in the ashes, But I only taste the grime. If love’s the lesson, teach me why The purest hearts still bleed to die. (Bridge) If You hear me — don’t forgive me, Just admit You made me break. If the plan was pain and pity, Then my soul’s Your first mistake. (Outro / Final Chorus) I’m one of the faithless, Still standing where You fell. If Heaven’s built on suffering, Then I’ve earned my seat in hell. I’m one of the faithless… Still praying You can tell.
