I've been working on prayers that never get answered Like painting a picture with water Nothing but water I've been loyal to liars who have no intention Of needing my love and devotion I’ll still be around them I've been trying to be more than a disappointment To meet expectations of others Should I even bother? When will they say they need me to be safe? There's love instead of hate? Or I'll be gone today I've been sharing my gold with the rich and pretentious Somehow I just need to be mentioned Or to be remembered There's hope in every sound There's light in every shade When will they say they need me to be safe? There's love instead of hate? Or I'll be gone today When will they say They see me and they pray That I come home today? Their gold is in my ways
