Dead Churches Lyrics by Detractions

Smile & Nod

2019

I don't wanna be left alone in this empty church
It makes me feel alone, makes me crazy, mostly I feel hurt
Saw the path ahead right before as I sit and pray
Looking for a meaning in the plans of the every day

Saw the face of God but I didn't hear his secret
He said the words I memorized and knew I didn't mean it

The spirit was once here but now it has faded away
I'd try to bring the flock back but what on Earth would I say?
Looking for the grace of God in an average life
Earn my way to heaven through a world of toil and strife

I saw the Face of God but I didn't hear his secret
He said the words I memorized knew I didn't mean it

I saw the Face of God but I didn't hear his secret
He said the words I memorized knew I didn't mean it
I saw the Face of God but I didn't hear his secret
He said the words I memorized knew I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it
