lyrics

The truth is… what I tell you it is,
a tired story no-one wants to read.
I’ve taken my time, twisted words to my advantage,
There’s so little truth I don’t know what to salvage.

I wish it were stranger than fiction,
I longed for my lies to come true,
But I lost track, I can’t keep going back.
I’m victim to my contradiction.

There’s only one victim here,
Screaming for attention.
But when the smoke is clear,
Your truth is my fiction.

The truth is… not what you believe,
Not what they say, but somewhere in between,
They’ve twisted my words, at their discretion,
Just give me one chance, to speak my confession.

It’s so much stranger than fiction,
The stories they tell seem so real,
My ghosts came back to haunt me,
And now I’m begging to reveal.

There’s only one victim here,
Screaming for attention.
But when the smoke is clear,
Your truth is their fiction.

A cut from Ocham’s razor stills my tongue,
The lies of which I tell you are coming undone.

Nothing I say has meaning at all,
When the webs I’ve weaved start to fall,
I wish I could tell you my true intention.
That your truth is my invention.

The truth is…
