Explain me love. Can’t you tell me love? Sell me love Just for an hour Or two This is not sweet love This is sweet believing Give me your believing Let me feel it God is a lie Don’t you see? Must I tell you? God is a lie God is a lie Must I show you? Now you see? No? You still believe? Let me show you Your dead dreams Your dead hopes Your dead mom This isn’t your hopes This isn’t your dreams This is your life You say you want to live Living for something real This isn’t real Let the sun shine And let the rain drop Let your heart tell you lies Let them tell you “Well, that isn’t right†God isn’t real Don’t you see? Must I tell you? God isn’t real God isn’t real God is a lie You say “Well, you don’t know if it’s real- Right? Have you ever been in heaven†Nah, but in hell Yeah, God isn’t right He’s just a lie I think I think you’re beautiful This is not a lie

I share much of your thinking, and love your final couplet. Strikingly, starkly written.
