Believe It

In the unlit room with my head in my hands

The walls between us now seem unscalable

I cannot control anything

There are weapons down beside your bed

And every night I count them all

Is this where we've come to? I don't believe it

After everything that we've been through

I don't believe it

Take a look around here

I don't believe it

I look into my own sweet heart

I don't believe it

Oh how they talk about us when we're far away

Behind their frigid eyes they know more than they ever say

They only tell you the truth when they get drunk enough

It's a town of cornered animals, teeth bared

out of control

Is this where we've come to? I don't believe it

After everything that we've been through

I don't believe it

Take a look around here

I don't believe it

I look into my own sweet heart

I don't believe it

And every night I clench my teeth and fail to get to sleep

I cannot bear the stillness drawn across the surface of the world

I have never learned to throw the first punch

Perhaps the more you know the more you get scared

In the end you left on your mission to find a reason for all this pain

And how I wish I'd gone with you over and over and over again

Is this where we've come to?

I don't believe it

After everything that we've been through

I don't believe it

Take a look around here

I don't believe it

I look into my own sweet heart

I don't believe it
