​closer to god Lyrics by Balance and Composure

with you in spirit

2024

Tearing the family apart
You've got the light while I'm left in the dark
You must be closer to god
Now I'm afraid of the people you are
Was it something I said?
Was it something I said?
I'm usually holding my tongue
But when I'm pushed I hold back for no one
You were just closer to god
Now you're afraid of the people you are
Was it something I said?
Was it something I said?
I'll never know how it feels
You've got a reason for everything
Feel how they want you to feel
Destined to save us from latter days
You'll throw your life away
What good can come from the soul?
You'll get rewards if you do what you're told
Like giving a child a gun, pray that he won't
Take it out on someone
What happens now?
Are they safe in the crowd?
Where's your faith?
Where's the angel you're sending down?
Why would a god want to keep me around?
Why build a structure then tear it all down?
I will wait
Where's your maker hiding now?
Was it something I said?
Was it something I said?
I'll never know how it feels
You've got a reason for everything
Feel how they want you to feel
Destined to save us from latter days
You'll throw your life away
I'll never know how it feels
You've got a reason for everything
Feel how they want you to feel
Destined to save us from latter days
You'll throw your life away
Was it something I said?
Was it something I said?
