Nessa Barrett - dear god

dear god
do you hear me when i’m cryin’ when i doubt
that my soul is worth savin’ thinking
i’m not
good enough for you to answer what the fuck
don’t you love us all the same
i’ve taken more than my share of pain
can’t you hear me say your name
can’t you see i’ve got these

angel wings
sewed onto my back with black ribbon
i know you know it hurts my skin
i was just
trying to get into heaven
i’ve been dying to fit in

dear god
dear god

dear god
if i drown myself deep in this holy water
will it wash away my sins
i thought
you could help me make myself a better daughter
but it hasn't happened yet
i’ve taken more than my share of pain
can’t you hear me say your name
can’t you see i’ve got these

dear god, dear god
don’t you hear me when i cry
