Belief

Its Raskolnikov

I will be there for you,

Constantly I will watch,

Never will I leave,

Today has been rough,

But for you, I believe,

 

Like some legend of death,

We will wonder,

We will lose our heads,

I will lay you down in my bed,

And we will breathe with the trees,

Because for you, I will believe,

 

It is not for Jesus, born in Bethlehem, 

Nor Mohammad, Zeus, or Thor,

I only find reason in fairy tails like Peter Pan,

I will only keep love when I can stand,

I believe for you like a lamb,

 

I need adventure,

Feet in the sand,

My heart is still out of my body and you left it on the floor,

Someone pick it up,

I need help,

I'm just a man,

Let me stand,

Because of you, I believe I can,

 

Don't you see?

Or am I wrong?

Is life for eternity,

Until we start to see reality?

Until we start to believe in our mortality?

 

I believe for you,

Not so I can find safety,

But because you're so fine to me,

Even if we're just friends,

Even if I've never considered you,

Even if we never were to be,

I love you,

You're a perfect soul,

I want you to be told,

There's no reason to feel cold,

 

Is it this belief in the arts,

That makes me seem devilish and foreign?

I tell you, I'm just pulling cards,

I just want to be in their hearts for the right reason,

Love is not treason,

Stop trying to break it into shards,

 

Take what you will,

We are all human,

We all have perfected flaws,

Don't make us live in ruin,

Don't use your claws,

Just let us,

Believe,

Let us take it back to love for eternity,
