I? I had to see the risk that faith brings. I thought I believed it’s true.
I? I felt it’s non-existence thriving. I won’t say the name for you, and …
And I don’t think I’ll ever get my head around, my head around it.
And I don’t think I’ll ever say the things I found, what things I found, no.
Why?
I listened small, intently trusting.
Why?
No angels sang for me, and …
And I don’t think I’ll ever get my head around, my head around it.
And I don’t think I’ll ever say the things I found, what things I found, no.
I thought that I’d meet your ‘god’ again … I thought …
I thought that I’d see ‘it’ shine again … I thought …
I bought your brainwashed belief again, again, again …
Well, what surrounds you?
‘Cause I’m senseless.
Once there was a time I prayed with both eyes open, hoping daily I would find some proof, but it’s not there.
So why I feel this power: empty, dwelling?
Time bred my agnostic flaire.
Well, I have lost all faith in ‘god’ and ‘magic’.
Time bred ‘it’s’ malignant heir.
I thought that I’d meet your ‘god’ again … I thought …
I thought that I’d see ‘it’ shine again … I thought …
I bought your brainwashed belief again, again, again …
And I don’t think I’ll ever get my head around, my head around it.
And I don’t think I’ll ever say the things I found, what things I found, no.
I thought that I’d meet your ‘god’ again … I thought …
I thought that I’d see ‘it’ shine again … I thought …
I bought your brainwashed belief again … I thought …
I thought that I’d meet your ‘god’ again … I thought …
But I’m senseless.
