What happens when a depressed person believes in something?

The great man in the sky

Well, he's supposed to listen

You bang your fists on the door but no one's home

The window, there, there is a man who will listen

Try little taps at first, polite

Desperation sets in and you're slamming your arms against the glass

Cry out: Listen to me! Tell me I will be alright!

Listen to me! Tell me I am enough!

The glass is breaking but you're all alone

Pick up a shard of those broken beliefs

Carve insanity into your veins

Paint crimson onto white-washed walls

Set fire to forever because the pain won't go away
