Truth

When I look into your eyes
I feel further every time
But I see the roots that take
Put a shiver down my spine
I came here asking nothing
But I'm leaving with a list
I was born to believe
The truth is all there is

The pressure of the eyes
Could tie my tongue and leave me cut
If the mirror shows me weakness
I get wild with catching up
You won't find me running off my mouth
Like my old friends
I was born in California
And it never ends

There's a fire in the almost places
Leaves us nowhere else to go
If there's a fire in the almost places

You cannot complain
If you don't throw a dice yourself
Sit outside the lines blame everybody else
I refuse to offer myself up to men who lie
Spit and sell and smirk
Out the corner of their eye

If there's a fire in the almost places
Leaves us nowhere else to go
If there's a fire in the almost places
Leaves us nowhere else to go
Don't leave the liars in the honest places

Don't leave a fire in the almost places
Leaves us nowhere else to go
Cause there's a fire in the almost places
Leaves us nowhere else to go
Don't leave the liars in the honest places
