[Verse 1]
I'm up here
You're down there
Call me the bait man
I'm screaming for air
Color me black
If you wish, but
I don't believe
I don't believe
My God

[Verse 2]
I don't crash
The sky moves
I'll shape your dreams
That a lifetime can't lose
I won't talk
I won't sing
They call me render
The shaper of things
Oh God

[Verse 3]
I'm not down
I'm not ashamed
Call it the job
If you need something to blame
Young reckless sleepers
Still screaming for air
I don't care
I don't care
Dear God
