The Truth (iTunes Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: The Illusion Of Progress - 2008)

It's 3 AM. It's cold outside, and you can't sleep
Is it from your conscience talking to the skeletons you keep?
Every time you try to speak, only craziness comes out
But she can't turn the other cheek, and you can't help how it comes out

So when did you decide
To embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that's not what got us here

It's 8 AM, and still no sleep, but you don't care
I don't know why I keep on calling. Doesn't get us anywhere
'Cause every time I try to speak, you never let my words come out
I can't turn the other cheek, and I can't help how this comes out

So when did you decide
To embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that's not what got us here

Honestly
I don't know how you could see
Something you once saw in me
Just another volunteer

To wonder if you ever lie awake in bed
And think about the things you said
Your dedication shows
But you can't see. Your eyes are closed
And all the promises you made to me
They seem to fade and leave me
With this disappointment
That these words could never show

When your ride is over
And you're hanging by a thread
As your house of cards is falling
Just remember what I said

So when did you decide
To embrace what you hate to survive?
'Cause that's not what got us here

And honestly
I don't know how you could see
Something you once saw in me
Just another volunteer
For you to bleed
