Lyrics
The Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Madness takes its toll on me
Still thoughts of what should be
Stupid lies used to comfort me
Wishing things they told would make sense
I used to be a man of principle
No true believer, never troubled
But now I stagnate on mundane things
I'm always concerned with what tomorrow brings
And these thoughts are a dream
A dream that's remained in my head
And destroys what I've said
And corrodes my will until I'm almost dead
The light flickers on, although not for long
The world turns away, and restores a new day
The sun never dies, and the new baby cries
I search my whole life, with inquisitive eyes
But I realize now I'll never find it
And I don't think the gods are gonna show it
'Cuz I realize now I'll never find
The truth
The truth
What's in a bond between two living things
What natural law can control such things
Are these the questions that motivate you
What is the force that tells you what to do
Well it might as well be a dream
A dream that remains in your head
And corrodes what you've said
And destroys your thought until you're almost dead
The light flickers on, although not for long
The world turns away, and restores a new day
The sun never dies, and the new baby cries
I search my whole life, with inquisitive eyes
But I realize now I'll never find it
And I don't think the gods are gonna show it
'Cuz I realize now I'll never find
The truth!
The truth
