about

this is a song about idolizing a creator and then coping with the fact that they're actually a shitty person.

lyrics

intro:
why should I have faith
today
that people will choose to change
for the sake of healing an other's pain
why should I have faith
when rainbows turn out gray

chorus:
why should I have faith
today
that people will choose to change
why should I have faith
if the price of change is too lofty,
even apologies have to be paid
why should I have faith? x2

verse 1:
it's such a simple thing,
the joy you'd bring
how I found a home in what you do
but I confused you with your flowers
and when the seeds were sown
of doubt for who I claimed to know
well, I ripped 'em out
'cause I knew I had the perfect garden

pre-chorus:
there's no way
you can do wrong with what you say
if my foundation were to break
then what would happen to me?

chorus:
why should I have faith
(why should I have faith)
today
that people will choose to change
(you'll never choose to change)
why should I have faith
(why should I have faith)
if the price of change is too lofty,
even apologies have to be paid
why should I have faith?
(why should I? why should I?)
why should I have faith?
(why should I? why should I?)

verse 2:
it's such a joyful thing to know
that I will never move from home
why would I even want to know
if there was mold on the floorboads
you can't be a villain
this is a palace, not an evil lair
I always wondered why those
neighbors seemed to stare

pre-chorus

chorus

bridge:
but I can't hide behind my
picket fence no longer
and neither can you
(neither can you)
you know it's true
so I'm done with your
books and your posts
and the harm that you caused
that you keep on promoting
'cause you don't care
you don't care
no, you don't care

chorus
