[Verse 1]
Mother is busy
She won't even miss me
And so busy praying
She won't see me waiting
I hate all your reasons
They just point to Jesus
You can't be awakened
When you're not mistaken

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate your voice, and that fucked up noise
And your clichés, and the things that you'd say to me
When they burned me then, they still sear today
Embedded in a memory that won't change

[Chorus]
How can you talk to God
How can you talk to God
How can you talk to God
When you won't talk to me?
Yeah, how can you talk to God
How can you talk to God
How can you talk to God
When you won't talk to...
[Verse 2]
So I begged you just for a word that
Through the day you might have heard and...
She wouldn't listen to my words

Always, I'll remember
Some good times and some winters
In times when I wasn't
Too dirty for mud

[Pre-Chorus]
When you'd hit your own boys in that fucked up voice
On your black days, oh the things that you'd say to me
When they burned me, yeah they burned me
Oh, they burned me, yeah they burned me!

[Chorus]
So, how can you talk to God
How can you talk to God
How can you talk to God
When you won't talk to me?
I know every little word
Of all the things that I have heard
So, how can you talk to God
When you won't talk to me!?
When you won't talk to me, yeah
[Outro]
Then someday you'll be better than me
Yeah, someday you'll be better than me
But you won't talk to...
