God of the Gaps

[Intro] You can keep him I filled the space myself [Verse 1] You point to the dark and call it design Circle the wound, say it’s divine Every question you can’t outrun You dress it up and call it “son” I watched you build him out of fear Out of silence you couldn’t bear Any place the light fell flat You said: God lives there, don’t ask that [Pre-Chorus] Every gap Every crack Every place you wouldn’t look back [Chorus] God of the gaps God of the almost-known God of the things you’re scared to say When you’re alone God of the gaps Hollow crown, borrowed name You don’t live in truth You live in what we couldn’t explain [Verse 2] You say trust, I hear control You say faith, I see the toll You say love like it’s a threat Smile sharp, hands unmet I don’t need a watcher in the dark I don’t need a debt to start If wonder dies when answers come That wasn’t sacred, that was numb [Pre-Chorus] You filled the hole With a rule So you wouldn’t have to feel the pull [Chorus] God of the gaps Standing in the spill Every time the story breaks You say it’s will God of the gaps Soft voice, iron claim You don’t save the mystery You cage it with your name [Bridge - Spoken, steady, close] If you need him To be good If you need him To survive That’s not belief That’s a hostage situation Dressed up as a sign [Break] I’ve seen awe without a script I’ve seen truth not ask permission I don’t fear the unanswered I fear the answers you won’t question [Final Chorus] God of the gaps Step aside I’ve learned how to stand in doubt With my eyes open wide God of the gaps I release the claim What I don’t understand Doesn’t need your name [Outro] Wonder breathes When gods collapse I live here now In the gaps
