[English]

I’m trying to speak to myself

But the universe can tell

I cry

For help

When nobody's around

But I've gotta feel it

Keep bringing me down to earth

And bury me in the dirt

Tangle me in the roots

Beneath the ground

I don’t care

Why you left me here

I just wanna believe

When life took a bite out of me

I built myself again

The space that was left

Still bleeds

Don’t you see?

I just wanna believe

I looked at the peak as I fell

It was infinitely now

Behind

The cloud

The stars were fading out

But I've gotta feel it

Keep bringing me down to earth

And bury me in the dirt

Tangle me in the roots

Beneath the ground

I don’t care

Why you left me here

I just wanna believe

When life took a bite out of me

I built myself again

The space that was left

Still bleeds

Don’t you see?

I just wanna believe

Cause fate doesn’t know

How to please

And there's poison in regret

It's taken a bite out of me

Don't you see?

I just wanna believe

So Tell Me

I’m more than

Machine

I just wanna believe

When life took a bite Out of me

I built myself again

The space that was left

Still bleeds

Don’t you see?

I just wanna believe

Cause fate doesn’t know

How to please

And there's poison in regret

It's taken a bite out of me

Don't you see?

I just wanna believe

But I've gotta feel it

Keep bringing me down to earth

And bury me in the dirt

I just wanna believe
