Lyrics
(Per)version Of A 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.
When everything is lost, (peel it all away)
Haunting us with questions (asking)
Will we
Ever find the smile inside (no), is it hidden
Behind the sweating eyes (bleeding)
Dead inside a scream that's pouring from me
I'm planted in this skin, (constricting and pulling me)
This dirty filthy skin (rancid and stinging me)
A bird behind the walls, (that have become my
World)
The bearer of a gift, fuck your gift
Truth does not exist, but the lies do
But the lies do
They're buried in the skin,evolved
Perversion of a truth, I'm stuck there
(Inside of lies buried in me, why)alone
Born into a world, never asked to be here
Doesn't exist, it doesn't exist truth
Doesn't exist it doesn't exist, truth
Always inside a tragedy, (things never seem
To go away)
A room that I remember, (portraits I carry)
Try letting go of this space (bad habits cant
Kick me)
The fool that fell from heaven, heaven
Perversion of a truth I'm stuck here
(Inside of lies buried in me, why)alone
Born into a world, never asked to be here
Doesn't exist, it doesn't exist truth
Doesn't exist, it doesn't exist truth
Doesn't exist, it doesn't exist truth
Doesn't exist, it doesn't exist truth
Doesn't exist, it doesn't exist truth
Doesn't exist, it doesn't exist truth
Maybe we're all the children of a star
Misguided in direction, our misdirection
Pardon me while I pray for light!
I'm not the only one
That walks between the rain, there are many
I'm not the only one
When everything is lost that doesnt
Surrender
Perversion of a truth
I'm stuck there (inside of lies buried in me
Why)
Alone
Blind walking through a world, never asked to be here
Versions of the truth, I'm not the only one
Your versions of the truth, I'm not the only one
Versions of the truth, I'm not the only one
Your versions of the truth, I'm not the only one
Versions of the truth, I'm not the only one
Your versions of the truth, I'm not the only one
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
