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
But I don't know him anymore

There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed, 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

So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawl beneath my veins and now

I don't care, I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed, 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

Torn Ooooh Hoo ooooh Ooooh

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed, 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 am shamed, bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late, I'm already torn

Torn (much wailing)
