Assemblage 23
God Is A Strangely Absent Father
Depend on me
And I will let you down
Repeatedly
You'd think you'd have learned by now
In your hour of need
I'm nowhere to be found
And while you bleed
I'm indifferent
God is a strangely absent father
His back is turned perpetually
All the orphaned sons and daughters
Abide in their suffering
Cry out to me
And I won't hear a thing
My door is closed
And I'm not listening
When troubles come
You'll be on your own
Divided from
Some saintly guidance
God is a strangely absent father
His back is turned perpetually
All the orphaned sons and daughters
Abide in their suffering
