about

DO YOU HAVE GOD? is just more dialogue. Questions without answers. I was frustrated and tried to accentuate the obvious within a relationship. I asked questions and offered truths au courant.

Do you have God now that our sacred trust has been broken? What we thought was a unity had been torn apart by whatever tears couples apart. Back when, we were two people as one, now standing alone. We once believed in each other. Now, all gone.

I thought it may be time she grounded herself in something a bit more spiritual. Something more than I could offer. I used church-related words "service" and "receive" open to two interpretations, one of which as risqué.

Naughty me.

lyrics

Do You Have God?
(Words & music by Michael Mazzarella)

Do you have God?
'Cause you don't have me to condemn anymore
Do you have God?
'Cause you don't have me to believe anymore

On my honor the beholder is in truth weight on my shoulder
Strike the light to burn the candle
This is more than I can handle

Do you have God?
'Cause you don't have me to service anymore
Do you have God?
'Cause you don't have me to receive anymore

In the spirit of confusion I step down under illusion
Pour the wine on my contrition
Hand the serpent its permission

Do you have God?
'Cause you don't have me to attack anymore
Do you have God?
'Cause you don't have me to curse anymore

Do you have God?
'Cause you don't have me
