Believe It

New Model Army


In the unlit room 
With my head in my hands 
The walls between us now seem unscalable 
I cannot control 
Anything 
There's weapons down beside your bed 
And every night I count them all 

Ch: 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 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 

Ch: Is this where we've come to - I don't believe it 
After everything that we've been through - I don't believe it 
I take a look around here - I don't believe it 
Is this where we're going - 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 

Ch: 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 
And I look into my own sweet heart - I don't believe it
