You say trust me
like throwing petals to the wind
you say believe me
I'm not anything less than I've ever been
You say
time takes the things we hold most dear
and twists them
into demi-gods and monsters
You say
trust me
and I want to
despite the rage
hiding
subsiding
hidden
I am ...

you say believe me
like water for the dead
what would you shed for me?
am i anything more than i ever promised?
peace in the darkness gathering
shelter from the storm
that I've become
you say
find me
and i want to be your answer
you say
believe in me
and i want to be more than i promised

i am ...
i am ...
i am ...
overcome
i am ...
i am ...
i am ...
over wrought

you say ...
don't let me slip away
you say ...
peace in the darkness gathering
