How much must I curse your name
And put your beliefs to shame
Before you prove yourself
And end this life?

End this life

And I'll say a fucking prayer
Because I know it won't be answered

Where is your god?
Where is your god?
Where is your fucking god?

And even if I don't believe you
I pray for the day
I pray for the day
That you end this life

So please take me away

I want the hand of god
To come and strike me down
I want the hand of god
To come and strike me down

Where is your god?
Where is your god?
Where is your fucking god?

For all the prayers that go unanswered
For all the prayers that go unanswered
Why do you think that is?
For the families that waste their time
Open your eyes

And all your prayers will go unanswered
Why do you think that is?
For the families that waste their time
Open your fucking eyes

    i think Mitch used to be a very strong christian but one day, when he really needed help, and prayed so much, nothing happened. like a family member or a close friend dying. so he is angry and wants to show that there is no god and tell people to do the right thing and live their life. completly agree.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
