[Verse 1]

I'm tired of dreams, I'm tired of almost everything

Dreams deceive, and living never lasts

Too tired to sleep, denial of grief awakes my sins

Too weak to breathe from living in death's hands


[Pre-Chorus]

Underneath, a shadow falling

Unbelieving prayers for all who die


[Chorus]

Foolish trust

In reverent pain

Foolish trust

The Devil embraced

Foolish trust


[Verse 2]

I'm trying to give, forgiving is meaning for myself

To see is believe, just remnants of my past


[Pre-Chorus]

Underneath, a shadow falling

Unbelieving prayer for all who die


[Chorus]

Foolish trust

In reverent pain

Foolish trust

The Devil embraced

Foolish trust

In reverent pain

Foolish trust

The Devil embraced


[Bridge]

There's nothing more to lose

The pain is over

There's nothing more to lose

Now it's over

To enslave, extinction of self-worth

Chains of rust in this kingdom for the dead

Burn to dust for this wisdom we all dread


[Pre-Chorus]

Underneath, a shadow falling

Unbelieving prayer for all who die


[Chorus]

Foolish trust

In reverent pain

Foolish trust

The Devil embraced

Foolish trust

In reverent pain

Foolish trust

The Devil embraced
