[Verse 1]
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around
Like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care what your heart is for
Yeah, I don't know him anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
And nothing's fine, I'm torn
[Chorus]
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am ashamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
[Verse 2]
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't care, I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
Just so many things
That I can touch, I'm torn
[Chorus]
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am ashamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
[Bridge]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
And nothing's right, I'm torn
[Outro]
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am ashamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Ohhh
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oohh
Oh yeah
