Truth is in the eye of the beholder
Come in, lay down with me,
As for tomorrow, it is as far from us as yesterday's sorrow
Never despair, stand your ground and be the best you can be
Whatever may happen, whatever may come to be
Erase your hate, bloom like a carved and scarred apple tree
Luckily, the clouds will guide you when you've lost your way,
It seems harder and harder to stand up for what you believe in
Viable lies grow faster than undeniable truth, tis true to say…
Examine your life, is it really so totally free from sin?
Let us pray, or so they say, for a better tomorrow, a better day,
Over the hills, in a deep shady valley
Never looking back down this littered alley
Gone to this burning place, tormented by or own words, our children play
Ever so long, ever so short
Needing to speak up, but found yourself out of breath
Out of it because of all the lies you've told until the day of your death
Universal truths, spoken by someone who doesn't know math
Give me some peace of mind, will I display my soul on this billboard
Heaven help me, or will you, if I don't have the strength to hold the fort?
Trying to see, hoping for illumination, but not really wanting
Over here, lay down by me, let me do the haunting
See, truth brings pain, anguish, or ecstatic joy
Ergo, you just decide to toy
Era after era, like a man who is forever a boy
Better that I tell you
Exit my heart, or come on in and accept all that you will find
Years of not knowing have left a mark of remarks, none too kind
Of course I will forgive you two,
Needles to say, neither of you wanted to be left behind
Decide, as the light is dawning, if you will know what to do…
