Just one thing

Holding it together with barely any motion
like so many motes of dust
my dreams keep stirring in me
but all i see are
rivers of violence
running red on the streets below me
while passionate strangers whisper desire
all i know is i'm on fire
I need just one thing i can believe in
oh, just one thing
just one thing i can believe in
Hiding in the shadows
i want to stand in the light
trust is unknown to me
i've been betrayed by the night so long
i can never belong to anyone any more
why does everybody think they know me
i go through the motions, playing my role
nobody knows what's deep in my soul
I need just one thing i can believe in
give me just one thing
oh, just one thing i can believe in
Love let me down
i wanted to believe that love was the one thing
but every time i turned around, love let me down
In my imagination
i come out of the darkness
the moon in my fantasy smiles down on me
i am a child running wild and free
but then the fight for survival
takes me out of my illusion
and i'm back in the emptiness, fear and defeat
trapped in a rhythm i don't want to repeat
the taste of freedom is so close and sweet
i've just gotta find a way off this dead-end street
I need just one thing i can believe in
i gotta find one thing
just one thing i can believe in
I need one thing i can believe in
let me find one thing
gotta find one thing
just one thing i can believe in
