Against what you've learned

You can trust what you read

And believe every word

From a language we no longer speak

Life is a gift

Your only concern: "is there life after this"

Am I worthy of earning my wings

Is there room on the list for someone who needs to see proof you exist

It's just not that easy for me

It's just not that easy

Something's still missing

You promised that it would materialize

It's there if you listen

I swear that I must not be hearing you right

With god as my witness, I've made it my business to be on his side

And somehow I'll never be sure

But I'll keep asking why

Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes

Always on trial

Hoping the verdict will make this worthwhile

Can someone please tell me the score

I'll be on the fence until you stand up and take credit for this

The truth is, I'd rather not know

I'll pray that the rest will make up for all of the days that I've missed

It won't be so easy for me

It's just not that easy

Something's still missing

You promised that it would materialize

It's there if you listen

I swear that I must not be hearing you right

With god as my witness, like nobody's business, you know that I've tried

And somehow I'll never be sure

But I'll keep asking why

Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes
