Green became red, light turned into dark

The balance was shifted by a single remark

Elements drifted in the final array

When I found out the truth, last Tuesday

Say what you want, say what you will

You can't take it back and hope that we stand still

Filaments burned out due to faster decay

When I found out the truth, last Tuesday



Shadows lengthen as the day turns into hell

Demons pursue as I crawl into my shell

I begged for you to show me the truth

I thought I could take the truth

Daylight retreats as I tumble down your well

Nothing matters as I follow those who fell

I thought I could take the truth

The truth lies...cries...dies



Cheeks became flushed,

Blood rushed to my head

My stomach felt like a container of lead

Dignity fled like a car down the highway

When I found out the truth, last Tuesday

Eyes became guns, words turned into screams

Your pupils betrayed you with a flickering gleam

Your pity flowed out as your final display

When I found out the truth, last Tuesday



Hades applauds all these stories that you tell

Heavens silenced by the banging of your bell

I begged for you to show me the truth

I thought I could take the truth

No one listens to objections that I yell

Nothing matters as I sit in some motel

I thought I could take the truth

The truth lies...cries...dies



I thought I could take it...

I thought I could take it...

I thought I could take it...the truth lies

I thought I could take it...

I thought I could take it...

I thought I could take it...the truth lies

I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)

I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)

I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)

The truth lies
