Black Holes

[Intro: Dillon]
But even stars collapse
This world is a black hole, sucking the life out of everything

[Verse 1: Dillon]
Uh - this probably how chaos feels
I just want him to stay off pills
Wish that I could look him in the face
And not feel all the rage instilled
Maybe we’ll come face the real
Until that happens I can’t be still
Avoid the topic -my joy is gone cus'
I don’t even know how to pray for real
I don’t really know what I’m supposed to say
These black holes they stole away
The goal of days spent in golden ways by a father figure
With his soul displayed
Prayed for years, with [crazy] tears, but I feel like your answer is “No”
He has cancerous soul
You could advance him and ransom his whole being
Why you gotta take away his sobriety?
Why couldn’t you take away his addiction?
Why am I waiting for You to respond to me
Feel like You already made ya decision -I’m frustrated!
And God, I’m fighting through the tough stages
To believe You’re just gracious, and You call on me to love patience
The weight of a fallen world collapsed on top of my spirit
Is breaking my heart I’m sure of that, I want your appearance
At least that’s what I thought today
Could be a price I don’t want to pay
Cus' what if You don’t show up until you take it all away

[Chorus 1: Sean]
I'm crying out
Praying You can hear me
Got me on my knees
If you will God, can You take this cup from me?
Pray for miracles
Ain’t been one that I can see
My lifetime
I'm staring down this black hole

[Verse 2: Dillon]
I got scars too
I got heart wounds
I cannot develop dreams into better things in the dark room
Enough about me
I got brothers
His thoughts suffer, his soul aches
Shares a scary song
Tears began to fall
Barely hanging on most days
And another friend with a different face is
Getting a bit impatient
He has not seen his kid in ages
He has missed so many stages
No Little League, no Christmas plays and
Birthdays, or big vacations
Wants to go back to prison cages
At least then he had visitation
And I’ve seen Daddies get their time taken
I know women who feel like God hate 'em
Because after her third miscarriage
Her world did perish and that's when she stopped praying
A husband buries his wife, at her grave he said;
“Who will teach little Gracie [] to shave her legs?
God, on my own, how will I raise these kids;
Is the road marked with suffering
Where my Savior lives?”

[Chorus 2: Sean]
I'm crying out
Praying You can hear me
Got me on my knees
If you will God, can You take this cup from me?
Pray for miracles
Ain’t been one that I can see
My lifetime
I'm staring down this black hole

[Verse 3: Dillon]
But then comes Jesus, He knows how to deal with doubters
His spirit is equipped to kill the coward that doesn’t belong
In men of God
And He says
I had mercy on the bloodthirsty when I was slaughtered for you
You are the clay - I am the potter, the God who formed you
How can you argue for human beings made in My image
Your finite concept of justice does not balance the scales of
Eternity
No one dies in vain
Righteousness will reign
One day all the world will see
And the very fact that you struggle and doubt me
Only means you heard about me
Now how did you hear about Me if I never left that tomb?
I hear your cry I’m not deaf to you
Don’t let doubt and death consume
And young man - hold to what the Holy has said
And never argue with the One who walked on water, and rose from the dead
So I put this bullet of praise, into this chamber of faith
Take aim, shoot
Until doubt doesn’t remain
