My revenge against the world



Is to believe everything you say



Balance as you are



On a pile of empty bottles



And even when the world has taken



All your defenses away



There's no way that you can be true



And I'll believe you



I'll believe you



Don't you get sick



Of party favors



That start with a whimper



And end with a whisper



And even when every single one



Of your gestures is a lie



To me, you always ring true



And I'll believe you



I'll believe you



The first time the cops came



They were like brand new friends



The second time they came



They were a little concerned



They said, "We know all about you



You're like a moth's to a flame"



Yeah, we speak too much



And none of it's ever true



What happens to the rat



That stops running the maze



The doctors think it's dumb



When it's just disappointed



I meant it when I said



That I would never see you again



But no matter how dumb I get there's one thing I'll always do



I'll believe you



I'll believe you



I'll believe you



I'll believe you
