I'd believe it if I were anyone but me

You burned all the evidence, witness testimony

There's an ember that's ablaze

And it palpitates in doubt

There's no wolf in the bushes

No witch at your door

The ones that'll getcha are already close

'Cause at the heart of the hopeless is a yearning for control

And a rage that burns

"We'd believe it if it were anyone but you

You wandered after dark, where's your scientific proof"

But the woods are on fire and that smoke won't turn to steam

She never cried wolf, she did not lie

The silent skies rained down overnight

While you have every alibi

You have no need for shame

For shame

In the eye of the storm there's a knock on your door

She wipes off her shoes

You drink up every drop of truth

'Cause at the heart of the hopeful is a yearning for control

And a rage that burns
