What's it gonna take for you to see what I say?
What do you need for you to believe me?
I've done all I'm capable of
What's it gonna take for it to be enough?
Never have I ever whispered a lie
Never have I ever, not even a white
Slaved over the truth, it seemed the thing to do
No matter how uncouth, I did what I could to give it to you
But every discovery at first thought always sounds so odd
No matter the illumination, it all sounds so wrong
Please, believe me
Please, I'm not trying to deceive
Please, believe
Believe me
Every world starts off as flat as a map
Every world ends up spun out like a pot
I know it's worrisome to have your world turned upside down
No matter how fearsome, we have to march on and remove our shrouds
Every discovery at first thought always sounds so odd
No matter the illumination, it all sounds so wrong
Please, believe me
Please, I'm not trying to deceive
Please, believe
Believe me
What's it gonna take for you to see what I say?
What do you need for you to believe me?
I've done all I'm capable of
What's it gonna take for it to be enough?
Please, believe me
Please, I'm not trying to deceive
Please, believe
Believe me
Please, believe me
Please, I'm not trying to deceive
Please, believe
Believe me
