Losing One's Mind?

[cardero]

GOD SAID

Nearly everyone I know claims to have heard your voice
And everytime they do I know I should rejoice
Because one day I’m sure you will break your silence
And speak just to me
But I feel like times running out
My heart is..
My heart is filling with doubt

And GOD Said…
I don’t dwell upon you
I dwell on something else
And I am not really here
So get over yourself

I tried to follow every rule they said you handed down
And spread the sacred testimony all around
But still the others seem to have your ear
But never will I
Have I displeased you somehow
Can’t help…
Can’t help feeling left out.

And GOD Said…
There’s no anger in me
You must mean someone else
Cause its not me that you see
Your looking at yourself
And I won’t give you a prize
Instead of someone else
Cause I don’t play favorites
So get over yourself
Just get over yourself

Is it my fear, is it my pride is it my vanity
Should your name be denied
Just to save my sanity
What is the price I need to pay
To have what others seem to grasp
So easily
Pity your servant, your slave
Who kiss..
Who kiss your feet to be saved
Save me

And GOD Said….
You are not serving me
You’re serving something else
Cause I don’t need to be pleased
Just get over yourself
You can’t suck up, up to me
I know you all to well
But I don’t dwell upon you
So get over yourself
Cause you’re not praying to me
You’re praying to yourself
And you’re not worshipping me
You’re worshipping yourself
And you will kill in my name
And heaven knows what else
When you can’t prove I exist
So get over yourself

Just get over yourself
Just get over yourself
