"I lost my faith in God, somewhere back around '89
when my old man came home piss drunk smelling like a whore
and I saw my mother cry
yea, that's the day that God died
that's the day I realised
that it's all on me, and I escaped in the Music

years past and Mumma said 'boy that's not how a man should be'
after twenty years, we walked away, but that night still comes to me

when i'm standing in the mirror
face to face with God, with the Devil and my Father and myself
we're all one, but I don't believe in any of us.

And I say
'it's just you and me now
it's you and me
it's you and me you old son of a bitch
it's you and me

Because my father's gonna die alone, with the TV on
and I don't wanna die alone,
with the TV on

THERE'S STILL NO GOD
THERE'S STILL NO GOD
THERE'S STILL NO GOD
THERE'S STILL NO GOD
THERE'S STILL NO GOD.

Another Breath - God Complex


Another Breath were...breathtaking haha
But that, that song
their final song
which was screamed, without a microphone to amplify the voice
was one of the most amazing moments I've ever witnessed
pure hurt, pure pain without hope of redemption
to see in his eyes how hopeless, how 'tragic', how lost & alone he felt beneath the gaze of the sun
was just, wow
Watching how he stopped, and held his head in his hands by the window in the middle of it all.

Because after everything
after all we've been through, after all the abuse, after all the let downs,
after all the empty bottles found
after all the nights spent building excuses into castles just to numb away the truth

There's still no God.
