(Per)Version Of A Truth

(album: The End Of All Things To Come - 2002)

When everything is lost (peel it all away)
Haunting us with questions (asking)
Will we
Ever find the smile inside? (no), is it hidden
Behind the sweating eyes? (bleeding)
Dead inside a scream that's pouring from me

I'm planted in this skin, (constricting and pulling me)
This dirty filthy skin (rancid and stinging me)
I burn behind the walls, (that have become my world)
The bearer of a gift, fuck your gift!

Truth does not exist!
But the lies do
Truth does not exist!
But the lies do

They're buried in the skin!

Evolved

Perversion of a truth I'm stuck there
(Inside of lies buried in me, why?)
Alone
Born into a world never asked to be here
(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)

Always inside a tragedy! (things never seem to go away)
A room that I remember, (portraits I carry)
Try letting go of this space (bad habits can't kick me)
The fool that fell from heaven, heaven

Perversion of a truth I'm stuck there
(Inside of lies buried in me, why?)
Alone
Born into a world never asked to be here
(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)

(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)

Maybe we're all the children of a star
Misguided in direction, our misdirection
Pardon me while I pray for light!

I'm not the only one!
That walks between the rain! There are many!
I'm not the only one!
When everything is lost that doesn't surrender!

Perversion of a truth I'm stuck there
(Inside of lies buried in me, why?)
Alone
Born into a world never asked to be here
(Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth!)
(It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth!)

Versions of the truth!
I'm not the only one!
You're versions of the truth!
I'm not the only one!
You're versions of the truth!
I'm not the only one!
You're versions of the truth!
I'm not the only one!
Lies!
Lies!
Lies!
Lies!
Lies!
Lies!
Lies!
