My Dear Acceptance

I've been working on prayers that never get answered
Like painting a picture with water
Nothing but water

I've been loyal to liars who have no intention
Of needing my love and devotion
I’ll still be around them

I've been trying to be more than a disappointment
To meet expectations of others
Should I even bother?

When will they say they need me to be safe?
There's love instead of hate?
Or I'll be gone today

I've been sharing my gold with the rich and pretentious
Somehow I just need to be mentioned
Or to be remembered

There's hope in every sound
There's light in every shade

When will they say they need me to be safe?
There's love instead of hate?
Or I'll be gone today
When will they say
They see me and they pray
That I come home today?
Their gold is in my ways
