You are loved! Like the song says, "God's not dead. He's surly alive. He's living on the inside, roaring like a lion."

Are You There God?

Drowning in my misery
this life is hell it seems to me
and I don't think I can fight this anymore
Tears of hate of broken hearts
scars from memories they haunt
my existence I plea

God save me
Please
Save me
I don't wanna feel this anymore
God save me
Please
Save me
I can't handle myself anymore
please settle my score

Fighting back the whines of sin
regret my past unthankfulness
I don't want to do this anymore
Scabs from cuts inflicted time
watch the blood drip down my spine
I won't handle this life anymore

God save me
Please
Save me
I don't wanna feel this anymore
God save me
please
save me
I can't handle myself anymore
Please settle my score

Take a knife and scratch my surface
break the skin and see the blackness
it'd be painful I if I could feel it
feeling-less numbness darkness
resides within
break the devil from my existence

God save me
please
can you hear me

God save me
please
Save me
I don't wanna feel this anymore
God save me
Please
Save me
I can't handle myself anymore
end this pain
