"Lost Faith" (from a baptist)





What i belive is no just a memory

another section of my life forgotten

"Lost Faith" that's now not apart of me

tainted truths by fiction turned rotten



"Lost Faith" in prayer

spoken words, spoken pleas

god's made me into a reason slayer

broken heart, broken dreams



how can my word reach the almighty

if he's now "Lost Faith" in me

jesus dies on the cross for my sin's

but i never ask him to die for me



Brought up in a baptist home my entire life

fed what to think, led how to feel

my religion based on so called "faith"

that could or could not be real



paster preached honor thy lord

and love thy savior

i've honored to long

now all i have is "Lost" behavior



used be a follower

but bred a leader

if god wanted to save our souls

then why was jesus a bleeder



hung upon that wooden cross

did he not say "what have i done"

he could protect every one else

but could not save himself



gods ultimate sacrifice

was suppose to be my forgiver

but now i'm "Lost"

down a clouded "Faith" river



Out of sight out of mind

i see no god

just my "Lost" reflection

among the collection plates

of my "Faith's" rejection



So what the Church holds to be true

is mandated in heaven

what about the perverted priest

What about those boys who's "faith"

was "Lost" to molestation



I was told to fear my "faith"

to hate the devil

but if were wrong

and god's on Satan's level



Was a hardcore christian

but i have "Lost" my good book

Its buried among the fiction novels

that never get a second look



God gave his only begotten son

so we could walk through those golden gates

were suppose to just know this

so if we guess right he cleans are slates



to me that's now bull shit

i'm tired of crying on silent ears

i'm tired of having just "faith"

i'm tired of being "Lost" in a bottle

to Quiet my true fears



with so many religions

who am i to say whats right

its now spiritual oppression

racism turned to godism

1000's of years of "Faith's" succession

"Lost" mental discretion

no longer a god given blessin



Jesus is white, Jesus is black

what if he's not real

just a character made up

to comfort you

an actual person who thought he was god

so he wrote a book

he might just be a common crook



I trust almost no one

yet i'm suppose to have "Faith"

in a man who could be no one



Silenced by how i grieve

the bible was written by men

with all there corruption and inconsistency

then couldn't the book be riddled with sin



god has so much power

then why doesn't he stop my rants

my repetitive poem

god has so much power

then what does little old me have to show him

have to owe him

or even know him



Why do people die then

why do people kill

why do people lose "Faith"

what am i just amusement

god's big thrill



I've "lost my faith

and thats simply put

but if a simple explanation

is just simple words

the why is "Lost Faith"

so hard to be heard



wishful thinking

thats only that

a dream for something more

not just in a coffin on my back



its mind, body and soul

divine fixation

maybe i'm just mind and body

minus the soul, and "Lost as a whole



were givin brains to think

but not allowed to use them

I'm tired of being a lamb

i'm tired of losing trust

I guess if i'm going to hell

i'm driving the bus
