[Verse 1]
Been spelling Your name
In the cracks of my ceiling
Dust in my lungs
Still mouthing old blessings
Hands pressed so hard
That my nails leave scars
Silence on the line
But I'm still dialing stars
[Chorus]
I’ve got a throat full of prayers
And my teeth full of doubt
I am burning at the altar
But You never come down
If You’re there
Say something
If You’re there
Say something now
I’m singing to the rafters
’til my voice gives out
[Verse 2]
I tore up the pages
Where they said You were kind
Folded the corners
Where You felt like mine
I sleep with the light on
Like that changes a thing
Still half-expecting
Some wild answering
[Chorus]
I’ve got a throat full of prayers
And my teeth full of doubt
I am burning at the altar
But You never come down
If You’re there
Say something
If You’re there
Say something now
I’m singing to the rafters
’til my voice gives out (my voice gives out)
[Bridge]
I am not Your soldier
I am not Your son
I am just a wound
That keeps calling You home
Why did You make me
To ache for a ghost?
Why does the dark feel
More honest than hope?
[Breakdown]
(Answer me)
I am on my knees
I am on my knees
(Answer me)
Are You even there or just in my teeth?
(Answer me)
I am cracking open
I am split in three
Anger
Hope
And the part that still believes
[Chorus]
I’ve got a throat full of prayers
And my teeth full of doubt
I am burning at the altar
And You still don’t come down
If You’re there
Say something
If You’re there
Say something now
I’m screaming at the heavens
’til they spit me out
[Outro]
I keep Your name
Like a splinter in my mouth
Too deep to pull
Too small to live without
