The seventh track off of Deftones' self-titled album, “Battle-Axe” is about someone who wants to believe that they are the cause of a failing relationship, only to accept that their partner is actually the problem.
[Verse 1]
I want to sleep
If you are awake
Still making believe
That you aren't at all crazy
[Chorus]
And if you don't believe I think you should
You'd make me so proud
Still you love to think you have always been this way
But you're all wrong
[Verse 2]
And you only sleep
When you've lost cause
Well I still believe
That the cause was always me
[Chorus]
And if you don't believe I think you should
You'd make me so proud
Still you love to think you have always been this way
Well I'd love to think you will someday feel the same
And you love to think it will always
Always
If you still believe it will always be this way
Well you're all wrong
[Outro]
Yes you are
You will see
