This song, and most of the album, is in the perspective of the brother (I guess you could say he's a portrayal of myself). It question's the existence of God, and focuses on feeling lost and alone due to the loss of the character's mother.
lyrics
Speak in tongues that I don't understand
make me feel like the outsider standing in question
I don't know anything, but I don't know that yet
maybe it's better to know nothing at all
And if knowledge is power, then why do I feel so weak?
It's consuming my mind and it renders me unable to speak
But why can't this sudden pain recede in the tide in my mind?
Don't settle on the shore, because I've felt this way too many times before
Why can't this sudden pain reside in the tide?
Is this real or am I dreaming you? When I can't feel, I question everything.
Why am I constantly questioning everything? Oh why. The answers out there, but not in this world so take me to the sky
Hello? I'm waiting for you. You said you'd come, but I don't follow.
Hello? We're waiting for you. You said you'd come, but we don't follow
Oh my god, if there is one, I'm waiting for you. So come on, come on.
Hello? We're waiting for you. You said you'd come, but I'm still waiting for you.
