Reason to Believe Lyrics

[Intro]
Everybody's got a secret...
Can you tell me what is mine...


[Chorus]
I've been waiting for something for so long
To show me the answers that I want
A reason to believe in that's so strong
But I don't think that it exists
I've been waiting for something for so long
To show me the answers that I want
A reason to believe in that's so strong
But I don't think that it exists

[Verse 1]
Yeah, give me reason to believe
This world's not a sick machine
When everywhere's a dead end
In every direction
Yeah, can you give me what I need
Or just sit and watch me bleed
Because after all, you can't get
Everything you want now

[Pre-Chorus]
But all I would need is one
Thing to keep me moving on
[Outro]
Everybody's got a secret
Can you tell me what is mine?
Can you tell me what you'd find, I'll tell you if you keep it
I promise not to lie
Well, I have the fears
The pain, and the tears, I just can't hide
It all disappears, 'cause everything passes with the time
All you need is reason to believe...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A dark song that portrays a feeling of hopelessness, of believing that there is no single shred of light in reality. Deryck expresses, on the opening track of the album, how long he has been looking for hope but is now starting to believe that there no such thing. A heavy opener full of self-hatred and despair that describes Deryck’s mindset during the tough times previous to the recording of this album.
