about

Our character realizes that there's no point in crying out to someone who isn't coming to save him anyhow.

lyrics

From the time you learn to crawl
You learn there’s no one there at all
To comfort you when you cry

All alone in the dark
You wait for a tiny spark
That anyone hears you at all

Is life a blessing or a curse
Could hell be any worse

Mother went away
And daddy no longer plays
But he sure can yell

Someone showed you attention
Something you thought was affection
Now you feel so dirty

One truth was revealed
There's no sword and there's no shield

There's something we all have to face
This crisis of faith
Sometimes faith gets left behind

You hold her in your arms
As the machine sound the alarms
That the end is near

You know not to hold your breath
Yes, you're afraid of death
But not your own

No prayers to someone who doesn't care
Or may not even be there

There's something we've all gotta face
This crisis of faith
Sometimes faith gets left behind
