Losing Faith Like I'M Losing Time

There’s a beating heart

 It’s not just mine

Losing faith

Like I’m losing time

What do you need to convince me of?

We are what we’re made of.

What we have is all we have.

We all have to fight our demons

We all pray to correct the past

And scream to the sky for no reason.

 

So, will I die, if I’m wrong?

Will I die, if I don’t guess at all?

Is this what it’s like when we’re gone

You see that your reflection

Really wasn’t anyone

 

 

I said, "My God what a crazy plan

I think I feel bad

About these strangers in my head

 I didn’t invite them in

But they’ll leave when I let them"

I said, “My God I’m home again

And can I read

The layers of your skin?

Because I see what we all see

That the truth is just skin deep

And i'm just here for the weekend”
