I Believe - (6-24-2016) [Live in Indianapolis]

I believe this to be the truth

And I pray it doesn't bore you

I don't believe life happens to you

I believe life happens for you

I believe in more than I can see

I don't believe in right, I don't believe in wrong

I believe I'm a poem, no you believe I'm a song

I do not believe in dwelling on the shit you never had

I believe I'm a good kid trying to convince the world I'm bad

I believe this is heaven, I believe this is hell

I believe it's beautiful to be part of something bigger than yourself

Perhaps I'm the tool of another

A rock to be thrown at the wall

I believe those that really know say next to no words at all

So what does that say about me?

What does that say about us?

We're just sick stars in a galaxy caught in the gravity of a tour bus

I believe that angels sometimes wear tattoos

I believe we like to numb ourselves with

Shit food advertisements and bad news

But I'm not a savior

Shit Kev, I'd be content with savant

Later I'll sing my more popular songs, that's all you really want

I believe in Matthew Musto

I believe in Jacob Scesne

I believe each one of us is free to believe what we wanna believe

Make some noise if you agree

We are free, do you agree?

We are free, do you agree?

We are free, do you agree?

I believe the prophets speak softly

This is all a dream

I believe that beautiful things do not beg to be seen

Beautiful things do not beg to be seen

I believe in God

Though I couldn't tell you why

I do not believe that he is an old white man sitting on top of the sky

Rather a twinkle in an iris

An iris purple in bloom

I believe you can be happy in December

Just like you can be sad in June

I believe I might not belong here

Maybe I showed up too soon

But for some odd reason

I believe in every single living breathing

Beautiful soul inside of this room

There is nothing wrong with you

Or you, or you, or you, or you, or you, or you, or you

And sometimes people come along and

They try to change you to somebody new

Your teachers try to change you to somebody new

Your parents try to change you to somebody new

Your friends try to change you to somebody new

The TV tries to change you to somebody new

And when that happens all you have to do is say

Don't you ever, don't you ever

Don't you ever ask the sun to shine more like the moon

See I believe in love

I'm probably young and naive

But I believe

I believe
