Precursor

I used to believe in something and something believed

in me

But now I see I forced myself cause believing in

nothing is scary

Now there’s nothing left to lose and we’ve been wearied

and refused

I am an unbelieving wreck. Will you please lift me by

my neck?

How do I turn this into something I believe

When it’s something I’ve been told and something I’ve

been taught?

How do I turn this into something that I need?

I’ll be lavishly controlled and be someone that I’m not

Make me believe. Make me believe. Make me believe. Make

me believe.

Joy and suffering, good and evil, breathing and growing

and life

It’s all a fluke, means nothing to me, and maybe

nothing is all right

To give up my life to hold on to hope, to forfeit all

of me

To believe that something must be true and that truth

will set us free

How do I turn this into something I believe

When it’s something I’ve been told and something I’ve

been taught?

How do I turn this into something that I need?

I’ll be lavishly controlled and be someone that I’m not

Believing in love, believing in hope, surrendering all

of my will

Believing in nothing is scary, believing in something

is scarier still

Believing in love, believing in hope, surrendering all

of my will

Believing in nothing is scary, believing in something

is scarier still
