He feels it when he prays to her
Or listens to her voice
She opens up the universe
Makes him feel like he has a choice
But her footsteps make a lonely sound
Chained to the wheel as the wheel goes round
She looks through the skylight at the clouds
She had so much to give but she's not sure now
And she thinks
I'm an insect drunk on colour
Fighting to stay in the air
Got to believe in something
In a world devoid of faith
But full to the brim with prayers
He spies her in the cathedral
That's where he hears her lies
She was hope and salvation
An envoy from the sky
The boy's belief is flawed at best
Crucified like all the rest
Love once meant a sacred vow
He had so much to give but he's not sure now
And he thinks
I'm an insect drunk on colour
Fighting to stay in the air
Got to believe in something
In a world devoid of faith
But full to the brim with prayers
To doubt
Isn't that what we're all about
We fall
Somewhere between the damned and the blessed
Got to find meaning in a world full of the meaningless
I'm an insect drunk on colour
Fighting to stay in the air
Got to believe in something
There's got to be something there
I'm an insect drunk on colour
Fighting to stay in the air
Got to believe in something
There's got to be something there
I'm an insect drunk on colour
Fighting to stay in the air
Got to believe in something
In a world devoid of faith
But full to the brim with prayers
