about

I need something to grasp at...
I'm running out of straws...

lyrics

Have you found anything sacred?
Have you found anything pure?
I’ve been swallowed up by compromises
Failed enterprises
I can’t see past the next disappointment
Anymore
Can’t feel past the self-loathing
Anymore


I still believe in God
But does God believe in me?
I still believe in love
But how can I love anyone
If I only feel right
When I hurt?

A symphony of disillusion
Begs my final curtain call
My reasons for persisting
Wearing thin
Deep inside know I don’t want to end the show
But I know I can’t go on in this role

I still believe in God
But does God believe in me?
I still believe in love
But how can I love anyone
If I only feel right
When I hurt?

So have you found anything sacred?
Have you found anything pure?
Something I can grasp at
I’m running out of straws
I’m running out of time
You see I still believe in God
I still believe in love
Can you believe in me?

Will you believe in me?
