Everywhere around me everybody is bound to be
telling me some kind of story
one their own glory or singin songs of o poor me
boring
fury pours forth from me
it all keeps on turning in circles of confusion
what is real and what is illusion
delusions, dreams the conclusion seems to be
Perception is truth
and their truths set them free
People get by walking through their lives
building their disguise and telling lies
of how it is and hows its been
I should accept it, respect it and join on in
they twist and bend reality to fit the mentality
of a if i want it, i should get it, i deserve it morality
its become the normality that things like actuality
are just a formality
no need for rationality, it's a technicality that's been left behind
but, this time i wont wipe tears from my eyes
ill let em fall and let a river rise
til the sun comes up and the truth can shine
and i can see clearly
between the lies
He was a friend so close to me
thought he was something that meant so much to me
of course, i knew he wanted to be more
but he promised, he promised, he swore
he was just confused, his marriage was through
He promised me he only wanted me
to be there for him
he needed someone
to be there for him
no one cared anymore and
i could trust that it was just platonic discussions of life
that was there between he and I
Id known him for so much time
so i looked past the signs and chose to be blind
but in the end the truth broke through his lines
all it took was me drunk at a party
past out on the couch, for him to start on me
while i was asleep he decided to start touchin me
I woke up not knowing what he had done to me
he says i liked it, but if so, why did I fight it?
he can go on and tell his stories
believe what you want, Im not worried
because i saw the truth
written by my fist in shades of black and blue
on his face in the form of a blackened eye
reality shines between the lies
Shades of grey keep draggin ahold of me
Whats the real reason they want to know me
What need or desire is motivating
each connection someone new brings
What is falsity and what is honesty
and honestly
I'm tired of trying
to decifer the lying tongues that come my way
Im standing in the middle of a crowd of acid
my mind yearns for the placid
fasten the lessons to my soul and pull myself out
cling to what i know it should be about
Between the lies the truth is found
Bound in deception it clings to life
Each truth having its own time
Will break free and from there, there is no rewind
nowhere to hide
no way to fight
There is no going back to the distortions of life
When the facts rise the fabrications die
So call me Truth while my eyes pierce through you
Ill sing you veracity while I drink in your mendacity
Let its bitter bite my lips, turn it sweet with what is
Spit the real of it at you let it hit you like a fist
Go on and feed me your deception please
I regurgetate it back awash with purity
Ill cut your tales with a gospel poisoned knife
Until the truth bleeds through
between the lies
telling me some kind of story
one their own glory or singin songs of o poor me
boring
fury pours forth from me
it all keeps on turning in circles of confusion
what is real and what is illusion
