Lyrics

The Truth of a Liar

[Intro]

Allow what's done to preach new insight to your life

Hindsight is perfect vision

The past is easiest to see

Clear a path, stand aside

We're carrying the torch now

[Verse 1]

Clear a path, stand aside

We're carrying the torch now

Clear a path, stand aside

There's no stopping us

Clear a path, stand aside

We're carrying the torch now

Clear a path, stand aside

There's no stopping us

You might think you're everything to everyone, to everyone

Go ahead, partake in it, justify it

Become engulfed in it

It will eat you alive

[Chorus]

This is not a one way road

You're headed for the dead end

This is not a one way road

You're headed for the dead end

[Verse 2]

You might think you're everything to everyone

Well pardon me if I intrude

You might think you're everything to everyone

You're not a perfect man in a perfect world

Look at where your ignorance has brought you

All this will be buried like the fall of Rome

You can't let your ignorance exploit you

You will come crashing down

[Breakdown]

The truth hurts (The truth hurts)

The truth hurts (The truth hurts)

The truth hurts (The truth hurts)

But denial's what will kill you

[Bridge]

All that you loved, all that you treasure, will pass with time

Will pass with time

Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood

Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood

[Verse 3]

Shifting blame with a log in your eye

Insisting that a string tied to your limbs

Is what's to blame (Is what's to blame)

[Outro]

Suck it up and bite the bullet
