How can a non-believer
suddenly believe in the power?
Be the man behind a trigger
covered in carbon powder

How can a non-believer
suddenly believe in ghosts?
Be the man behind the rifle
as any threat approached

How can a non-believer
suddenly believe there's hope?
When those we hold close
Tie a rope around their throat
to meet a suicide quota

How can a non-believer
suddenly believe in himself?
Be the bigger and better man
unafraid to ask for help

I don't ask for much
Only the world
I don't dream of much
Only the girl
Who made me feel alive
Who made me want to die
I don't ask for much
Only what's mine

And time is time
In time we see
And truth is truth
In time we'll believe

I don't beg or plead
I simply ask
I won't fall to my knees
Unless I believe
My prayers can be answered
My dreams that come true
I don't ask for much
Only what's mine

And time is time
Unstoppable
And truth is nothing
Impossible

Ain't it strange how
The things we need so much
Become the things that hurt us most

The best example of unconditional love
Is loving someone
Who doesn't love you

before you **** yourself,
just remember
that there are
places you have not been
and things you have not seen.
and poems to awe
art to draw
fields to walk through,
people to talk to,
music to take in,
games to win,
and books to be read.

so why,
oh why
do you wish
to be dead?
