I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
When you tried to build me up with the wrong words,
All it did was kill me
And when you said you trust in all that I feel,
I never quite believed you
And when you tried to help me out
By telling me how we should be, I disagreed
So hold me up and you should see,
You're not supposed to be my enemy
I know your side, I understand
But you can let me feel it's safe in my hands.
Your every word is full of doubt,
I've never had a way till now to let it out
If this is how it's gotta be,
It will never be easy
You can make this very easy,
If you can show me you believe me!
You could kill me, you can kill me,
Or you can make this very easy!
So let me breathe, just let me be,
I'd show you more than you could ever hope to see.
Intentions are the same, I find.
But even if they are, I still need room to shine.
So give it time, and give it space.
This isn't just a slap across your face.
If this is how it's gotta be,
I will never speak freely!
You can make this very easy,
If you can show me you believe me!
You could kill me, you can kill me,
Or you can make this very easy!
Oh, won't you believe in me?
Won't you believe in me?
Believe
Believe
Believe in me..
Believe in me... now!
Do you believe me?
You gotta believe, you gotta believe me!
Do you believe me?!
You can make this very easy,
If you can show me you believe me!
You could kill me, you can kill me,
Or you can make this very easy!
You can make this very easy,
If you can show me you believe me!
You could kill me, you can kill me,
Or you can make this very easy!
All it did was kill me
And when you said you trust in all that I feel,
I never quite believed you
And when you tried to help me out
By telling me how we should be, I disagreed
So hold me up and you should see,
You're not supposed to be my enemy
I know your side, I understand
But you can let me feel it's safe in my hands.
Your every word is full of doubt,
I've never had a way till now to let it out
If this is how it's gotta be,
It will never be easy
You can make this very easy,
If you can show me you believe me!
You could kill me, you can kill me,
Or you can make this very easy!
So let me breathe, just let me be,
I'd show you more than you could ever hope to see.
Intentions are the same, I find.
But even if they are, I still need room to shine.
So give it time, and give it space.
This isn't just a slap across your face.

If you can show me you believe me!
You could kill me, you can kill me,

Oh, won't you believe in me?
Won't you believe in me?
Believe
Believe
Believe in me..
Believe in me... now!
Do you believe me?
You gotta believe, you gotta believe me!
Do you believe me?!
You can make this very easy,

You could kill me, you can kill me,
Or you can make this very easy!
You can make this very easy,
If you can show me you believe me!
You could kill me, you can kill me,
Or you can make this very easy!
