Rejection

John Lee

I never hide the way I feel

but I only share'em with someone real

I guess that's why I'm here talk'n to you

Because you know all that's true

I pray and I pray I pray and pray

You keep turn'n away and away away 

I show you everything from my reflection

All I get in return is your rejection

Everyone got it wrong think'n I'm 

Love sick from a break up it's just make up

I don't miss the sex I can get the same

from a whore they just can't see the

spiritual war

I need the affection and I keep look'n for 

You in everyone else but you can't be found

Because you left me here on my own

And I guess It's my fault you left me alone

I admit my hands are stained with sin and

I've called on you to let you in

The truth is you've never knocked so

Now my door is locked

Seeing you hanging on a cross just tears 

Me apart so why am I so dark in the heart

These people show'n scripture is 

Just words on page if

You're not in it it's just an act on a stage

There's too much fake faces surround'n me

I can't even breathe without 'em hound'n me

Satan is attack'n where is your protection 

I'll die before wearing six six six

But I thought you had my six

Everyone who had my back was hold'n

A knife and you expect me to trust you with my life

When I look around all I see is paths to the sea

I'm always tempted to see where it leads

Take a swim as far as I can go with no return

How long before it overtakes me

Exactly where are you to stop me

Maybe there you'll answer me

All these fake posers say'n God said this and God said that

Never heard anything other than what's

Under their hats

I hope it makes them cringe the way

I talk to you but I'm not the one

That's hiding the truth 

You're the core to my trust issues

Everything I'll never have I've given to you

You just take and take and take

I've searched and all I've found 

Was fake and fake and fake

When will you take me home

I'm so tired of being alone 

Maybe you're not finished with the

Work you've started in me 

But I can't take the pain it takes to

Bring me to my knees 

I can pray until everything is new

But I can't even get a hey from you

Yeah I put these words on a page just

To show these fake posers what it's like to

Be real today 

Yet they won't even care because after all they're only your heirs

I act out for your attention like the 

Father I never had you only give

You're rejection 

Perhaps the next time I'm at the sea I'll finally see if you're truly watching me
