Truth Decay

(album: Sex & Gasoline - 2008)

You've got me worried now
It makes me feel somehow
As if the world is gonna break
Oh, c'mon, short on breath
It's like I'm scared to death
That I might make a bold mistake

I'd grown accustomed to the comfort
Nothing heavy on my plate
I've come to see myself as free at last
But now I just don't feel that great

I can't love you like I want to
When it depends on what I don't do
And every chance to see the real you
Oughta feel you slip away, is truth decay?

It throws me off my game
And nothing feels the same
I get so dizzy I can't think
I dig down deep in down
Until there's no way out
I'm just so busy on the brink

I'd like to think I make a difference
As if indeed I ever could
It was always up to you, girl
And this I never understood

I can't love you like I want to
If it comes down to what I don't do
And every chance to see the real you
Oughta feel you slip away, is truth decay?

I can't love you with my hands tied
Walking barefoot down the landslide
If I can't be there when you need me
Do you read me when I say 'it's a truth decay'?
