The truth in that
Is that the truth,
Is that the truth,
It will never be truth.
To them it's all lies,
To them it's all lies,
Because they lie.
The truth is masked;
It bears no light.
It is carried across,
The truth is masked;
It bears no light.
It is carried across,
Thousands of miles it treks.
It is tossed into stones,
Mixed in with pride;
Stamped on postcards.
It is shuffled amongst lies,
It is marked as spam.
The breaths that carry,
The minds that corrupt it
They bear no guilt.
The truth is never forgotten
No matter how fictitious it's made.
Through time it is mended,
Sometimes changed
Mixed in with pride;
Stamped on postcards.
It is shuffled amongst lies,
It is marked as spam.
The breaths that carry,
The minds that corrupt it
They bear no guilt.
The truth is never forgotten
No matter how fictitious it's made.
Through time it is mended,
Sometimes changed
Back into the truth itself.
It is rejected.
Simply made into the truth,
It is rejected.
Simply made into the truth,
The form they want to see.
To them, a lie is the truth,
Because it is made to be
To them, a lie is the truth,
Because it is made to be
What they desperately need.
