lyrics

Do I really believe that there's no god?
Do I really believe with all my heart?
Do I really believe that everything will stop?
When I was smarter than I am now,
I would pray to god and make him promise.
When I was smarter with all riddles solved,
I would pray to god and make him promise.
I have since lost what was never there.
Do not tell me that you are carrying me.
That stupid footprints poster,
hanging on the bathroom wall,
does not comfort me at all.
Such a lovely sincere portrait.

(Do I really believe that there is a god?
Is blind faith a form of blindness or a form of faith?
Is an answer even applicable if the question is asked in desperation?
Let us trouble heaven with our honest cries and see if god is really there.
If it's a sin to believe in just me,
I will suffer for my sincerity.)
