"Believe Me" is the ninth track on the album Wake Me.
Background
The first known studio version of "Believe Me" was recorded sometime in June 1994 as part of a 6-track demo done at Teething Studios, Scott Crowley’s apartment studio. He was from a band called “Nihil”. Jonathan Krause said, "He had a digital recording studio. I thought the drums sounded cheesy they were way to electronic. But it was free so who's complaining?" Sean Dowdell adds, "It wasn't a studio. It was his apartment and he and I recorded it on a very small recording program on a computer. Home recording though, not studio."[1]
On October 6, 1994, the very first day of working on Wake Me, the album's producer David Knauer recorded Grey Daze playing live in his studio to see what they had in store for their debut album. He recorded their performance straight to DAT tape and had Chester say the name of every song so it was documented on tape as well.[2] "Believe Me" was among the songs that made the album.
Under a new lineup consisting of Chester Bennington, Bobby Benish, Mace Beyers and Sean Dowdell, the band had their first pre-production sessions for their second studio album in February 1996 with David Knauer. There, they recorded a new version of "Believe Me". The album, however, was shelved due to lack of funds to finish the studio time.[3]

Lyrics
Sleep,
In the shadows,
Breathe,
In the air
Without dreaming
Without a care, oh
Look,
In the mirror
Cry,
No control
I've got a fever
I've got my hole, oh
I tried to believe it
Tried to receive it
With eyes of power
Will you deceive me, oh
Crawl,
Up to the clouds
Claw,
Your way out
I want to be there
I want to move on, oh
I ran like a coward
Far from this place
Show me desire
Show me disgrace
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
Sleep,
In the shadows,
Breathe,
In the air
Without dreaming
Without a care, oh
Look,
In the mirror
Cry,
No control
I've got a fever
I've got my hole, oh
I tried to believe it
Tried to receive it
With eyes of power
Will you deceive me, oh
Crawl,
Up to the clouds
Claw,
Your way out
I want to be there
I want to move on, oh
I ran like a coward
Far from this place
Show me desire
Show me disgrace
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
