Believer Lyrics

She used to tell me about her Father,
She used to talk about his Son,
I used to tell her that I knew them well,
Although I hardly spoke to either one.
Cause there's a graveyard in my closet,
And the skeletons up the wall,
Have always scared me into thinking that if I spoke,
One of them would start to fall.
And when she'd say you are a believer,
I don't know if I believed her,
I don't know if I believed her when she would say,
That I was a believer.

Well to escape is a drunk's love,
And fear of getting caught it a thief's,
When the bottle binds and the thief is seized,
There's no one left to blame if heart's are free,
But what about the little children,
With the crosses crossed on their eyes,
Where's the comfort for a mother who blames herself,
When trading is not allowed for lives?
And when she'd say you are a believer,
I don't know if I believed her,
I don't know if I believed her when she would say...

I broke bread with my brothers,
I tried to keep my feet on those narrow lines,
But tight-rope walking it was tougher than I thought it'd be
And I keep falling off yes I fall off,
Cause I am a violent man,
I just don't have the stomach for killing yet,
But though shadows fall between the silences of hollow men,
Hope it survives and I'm alive cause love is a light.
Love is a light
Love is a light
Love is a light

And when she'd say you are a believer,
I know now that I believe her,
I know now that I believe her and I'll say that I am a believer.
