I fear the questions that I
Can't answer.
(They're pushing themselves at me.)
Questions about you;
The more I'm uncertain,
The more that they pull me down.
I need you.
(I need you.)
And I don't understand:
How do I need you?
Why do I want you?

I see what you've done
And I'm desensitized,
But you take over my
Delirium.
Inside, my wounds cry out
For you,
But you cannot fix me
If I'm not believing.

You will not try to convince me
In my doubts.
(Tell me what is true.)
Your truths are yours alone
When I need them other than mine.
So you leave me out here,
(You leave me out here.)
Wondering why.
Am I out of my head?
Am I losing myself?

'Cause I see what you've done
And I'm desensitized,
But you take over my
Delirium.
Inside, my wounds cry out
For you,
But you cannot fix me
If I'm not believing.

You leave me in the darkness of my ignorance,
Though I'd forgive the things you've done to me;
There is nothing to hold on to
Unless you reveal what I can't see.

The comforting lies I build will not sustain me for long;
Don't you care about what surrounds me?
Don't you care about me?

I see what you've done
And I'm desensitized,
But you take over my
Delirium.
Inside, my wounds cry out
For you,
But you cannot fix me
If I'm not believing.

Compel me,
Compel me,
Compel me,
Compel me,
Compel me,
Compel me,
Compel me,
To have faith
So I can be whole.
The song talks about realizing that what you once believed in so much wasn't all that perfect. But it isn't that easy to let go despite the lies that comes to the surface... especially if what you once believed in was a person.
