THE TRUTH
Crossing the frozen lake, trying to not fall in
But the sun, he wants to break the ice and I start to spin
To convince myself of deceit and lies
Til I think it’s real but to my surprise
The truth unravels each twisted thread
Of this ruthlessness that’s bound up inside my head
I can’t escape its grip, no matter how hard I try
And this whiskey that I sip can only dull each lie
And it hunts my soul like a bird of prey
And it leaves a hole in the center of the fray
Where the truth takes me down on its way
And this ruthlessness that only led me astray
Don’t have the vision now or insight I once saw
Can’t find it anyhow or summon the wherewithal
With all lies well hid, ‘neath the light of day
Wish that I could rid the world of the con they play
And the truth haunts me into the night
And its ruthlessness always wins out the fight
Crossing the frozen lake, trying to not fall in
But the sun, he wants to break the ice and I start to spin
To convince myself of deceit and lies
Til I think it’s real but to my surprise
The truth unravels each twisted thread
Of this ruthlessness that’s bound up inside my head
I can’t escape its grip, no matter how hard I try
And this whiskey that I sip can only dull each lie
And it hunts my soul like a bird of prey
And it leaves a hole in the center of the fray
Where the truth takes me down on its way
And this ruthlessness that only led me astray
Don’t have the vision now or insight I once saw
Can’t find it anyhow or summon the wherewithal
With all lies well hid, ‘neath the light of day
Wish that I could rid the world of the con they play
And the truth haunts me into the night
And its ruthlessness always wins out the fight
