You say you’re gonna help me
I see things in a way that’s too real
I really wanna trust you but I know you already made my deal
I’ve been driving all night, been running from the truth
And I’m stuck down in rosemead trying to cut loose

You’ve got all your believers
Your water’s running blue but your hands are stained in red

Somehow I believe you but I know you manipulate the truth
The weight is getting heavy and 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 to hide what 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’

God damn me for believing in you
God damn your system makes me do the things I do
Sink your knife it’s your nature to be cruel
God damn me for believing in you
Oh’ I’m the damned

I’m right where you want me and I know I’m stuck in my shoes
I thought I was a rich man but now I’m broke from paying dues
You’re not a savior 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
Wont you let me slip into your darkest dream
I would love you to love me

God damn me for believing in you
God damn your system makes me do the things I do
Sink your knife it’s your nature to be cruel
God damn me for believing in you

Ohhh I’m the damned, will you ever let me go?
Ohhhhh I am the damned
