Truth?

[Verse 1] I've been burning And dousing the flames I feel the whiplash Of the backlash on my face I melt to sleep at night But I wake to trip the day Never for you never for me Would I kiss your feet of clay [Chorus] I'm still alive and so should I Soak up the wave of compromise Am I the victim of youth Is this the truth Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me [Verse 2] There's no conscience In charity or shame The voice deceive me But believe me its the same I see the black in white And the color in the gray Better for me better for you Going to bleach it all away [Chorus] I'm still alive and so should I Soak up the wave of compromise Am I the victim of youth Is this the truth Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Why don't you tell me Why don't you tell me [Chorus] I'm still alive and so should I Soak up the wave of compromise I see the scars, I hear the lies So what's the truth Why don't you tell me
