Absent Minded
when god comes home
God oh god
come home please
they will say
we need you here
and we will humble ourselves and obey
things are awry
and things we need and cannot explain
please here our prayers
and come home
\come home we beg
Listen children
I am home
i know you dont recognise my face
since its been soo long
but you know as well as any other that i do have a job
and other places i need to be
and things i do when im gone
Its been along day
its been along haul
and quite frankly im not in a good mood
so please please please
children dont ask me twice
just do what i ask of you
Share with those less fortunate
put your guns down all of you
for that is no way to behave
if i have to get off my soap box
to enforce my change my way
you will never ever be the same
I'm not in the best of moods
and you might not recognise me due to the fact of how i feel
in this predicament
but enough is enough
and ive had my fill
been here undercover solved the crime scene
and have made my list
so children please
wether on bended knees or in tears
im really kind of tired
its not going to be easy
and ive been through more than you need to know at this time
so just do what youre asked and told
before i show you my bad side
which im trying my best not to show you
but allow you to fathom
Youre asking me to come home
bu the truth is i never left
wether you consider it a test
of who passed or failed
wether you think i actually stayed here or left
i kno wmore than i need to
and here i left of starting where i began again
Dear god dear god please come home
dear god dear god
we cant take this anymore
dear god dear god
please hear our cries
something is terribly amiss
and none knows how or why
Listen children please
im doing what i can
but i need to get my rest
i just worked for a century
exercised for a decade then came home to spend time with you
and now its time for you to do your chores and homework
so please, dont forget what your mother suggested
I understand this may or may not be
the ideal situation but you need to be strong
wether i leave you to stand your ground high and dry
for all they know
i'm wearing a different mask
solving a crime scene to protect you my children
before i carry on to another world
where i make decisions about rights and wrongs
Dear god dear god please come quick
my heart is broken
and everyone is getting sick
the well is poisoned
and love letters are suicide
death of one another has become a sport and everyone is choosing sides
Children listen please
I've had along day
this is soo much to take in all at once and tomorrow that never comes
is another day
let me catch my breath just for a moment to relax
my head is spinning from stress and concepts and loneliness
you dont have to deal with
and responsibility is getting to me
i know you dont understand yet
about the ways you worship your dead brother
and make up stories
but it tears me apart
and i havent had time to morn
I've had along day
so pleas children just do what youre asked and told
remember what you were taught
be brave and remember to share and not fight
try to do the right thing
be selfless from time to time
and its okay to selfishly cry
and in the end everything will turn out right
God oh god
why wont you come home
dear god dear god where did you go
god oh god
please hear me now
i have a prayer a message
im afraid as hell
Listen you
I know you are my special child
who never recognises my face
but i need time for me just for a few minutes
a few hours
a few months
if thats ok
I know your worried
i know your upset
I know your trying to be selfless
but cant you see your pestering me?
cant it wait till tomorrow?
can't it wait till i get some rest?
can't it wait till i get a moment to rejuvenate?
can't it wait for a second?
because if you keep calling wolf
I'm gonna stop takling the bait
and then where does that leave you in times of true danger
with no batman sign in the night?
where does that leave you when i no longer come to aid you
when all you do is bother me
every minute every hour every day
of your entire life
so leave me alone allright or im not comin gback no matter what
I came and i saw and there was nothing wrong
I was here and I'm gone
I listened and i thought
I looked and found nothing
and again you were paranoid or wrong
so save it for when you really need me and point your finger
at someone who truly really needs help
because soon enough i wont come to your aid
Dear god
oh god
please god
god hear this now
god are you there?
WHAT?!!!!!
WHAAAAAAATTTTT!!!!!????
WHAT DO YOU WAAAAAAAANNNT?
I give up
good luck
I'm not coming back
feat of unequal measure for you
you wouldnt stoppestering me and i told you i was having a bad day
im tired
im in a bad mood
i need my rest you selfless selfish ignorant unshy terror
now leave me be
because im ignoring you from now on anyway
come home please
they will say
we need you here
and we will humble ourselves and obey
things are awry
and things we need and cannot explain
please here our prayers
and come home
