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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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
