Lyrics
The Real 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.
Blue eyes, black skies
And clouds filled with pain
Disguise the emptiness, the disdain
Late calls, long halls
With words no one hears
Reveals the loneliness and the years
Like going backwards in a revolving door
I don't know which way's out anymore
I can't run from the real truth
And not be living a lie
You can't hide from the fate chasing you
And watch it, from somebody else's eyes
Cold hearts, cruel thoughts
Can destroy the faith
Just ask the singer who hell from Grace
But things change and strange days
Can turn a point of view
Just time 'till everyone gets their due
I may not save the world but I'll save myself
Can't depend on somebody else
I can't run from the real truth
And not be living a lie
You can't hide from the fate chasing you
And watch it, from somebody else's eyes
