Belief Comes First

Thoughts in a rowClickThen they glowLittle quiet sentencesRunning the show

Wake up with a storyPlaying in my headTiny line of textScrolling in redChange one wordWhole day bendsNew lensNew landSame skyNew end

I tell myselfWhat this all meansThen colors shiftBehind the scenesI pick the frameThe feeling streamsIt starts upstream

Belief comes firstThen the feeling followsHigh or lowFull or hollowI write the lineMy heart reads it out loudYeahBelief comes firstThen the feeling shouts

"Nothing ever works"Flip it to "I'll try"Suddenly the weightDoesn't feel as high"Everyone will leave"Becomes "Some will stay"Same crowded roomBut a softer day

I change the scriptThe mood obeysA tiny twistRewrites the wavesI pick the frameThe feeling streamsIt starts upstream

Belief comes firstThen the feeling followsHigh or lowFull or hollowI write the lineMy heart reads it out loudYeahBelief comes firstThen the feeling shouts

It isn't magicIt's just the lensSwap out a sentenceThe story bendsBeliefs plant rootsEmotions growSo I guard the gardenI choose what I sow

Belief comes firstThen the feeling followsHigh or lowFull or hollowI write the lineMy heart reads it out loudYeahBelief comes firstThen the feeling shoutsBelief comes firstThen the feeling followsSoft or strongSharp or shallowI change the thoughtAnd the colors spin around'Cause belief comes firstThen the feeling shouts

Say itSee itWatch it riseLittle thoughtBig blue skiesBelief comes firstEvery time
