You say you're gonna help me see things in a way that's too real
I really wanna talk to you but I know you already made my deal
I've been driving all night, been running from the truth
And I'm so tied (?) trying cut it loose

You got all your believers
You water's onion blue
But your hands are stained in red

Somehow I believe you, but I know you manipulate the truth
The way it's getting heavy, I don't know what I should do
You got me wrapped up, somehow I'm so confused
But if you lead me to the fire I'm gonna light the fuse

A shrine for believers
So high you can't escape
It all looks so good with the lights off
You say let me slip into your deepest dream
And I will show you love

Goddamn me for believing in you
Goddamn your system, makes me do the things I do
Insert your knife, it's your nature to be cruel
Goddamn me for believing in you

Oh, I'm the damned

Right where you want me and I know I'm stuck in my shoes
I follow up on this man now I'm broke from paying dues
You're not a failure, and now I know
When you belong to the unknown they never let you go

A shrine for believers
I know that I can't escape
It always looks so good with the lights off
Won't you let me slip into your darkest dream
I will love you to love me

Goddamn me for believing in you
Goddamn your system, makes me do the things I do
Insert your knife, it's your nature to be cruel
Goddamn me for believing in you

Goddamn me for believing in you
Goddamn your system, makes me do the things I do
Insert your knife, it's your nature to be cruel
Goddamn me for believing in you

Oh, the damned
Will you ever let me go
Oh, I am the damned
