Swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you Pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips All the love from my lips You don't like the sound of the truth Coming from my mouth

And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt beneath the dirt I heard the truth was built to bend A mechanism to suspend the guilt Is what you are requiring still You've got to dance little liar Just like those fibbs

We walk the front lines We defend our country with our lives We pretend to see truth in all these lies But we were men 'Cause in the end we were men We were men Woke up screaming in bed The silence taunts me It's like I am there again

(to) give me truth to my conviction Reality or fiction Am I out of my mind? And just for one day I wish I could disappear There's no solution Is my own confusion Maybe nothing else will ever be so clear Well maybe that's only my fear Just take me far

I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle For a life less frightening, a life less frightening Suffering from something we're not sure of In a world there is no cure for These lives we live test negative for happiness Flat line, no pulse, but eyes

Eyes flare, this glow becomes our lanterns We are searching for truth, but find dust and dirt Though sight falls hard, trudge headfirst and forget what matters Caught in the trample of the tow, bones scrape against the asphalt Gaze into the depth and try

There’s no getting over you Every kiss that I let slip away Every minute every single day The memories make it easy to break a heart Forgetting is the hardest part I tried to sugarcoat the truth But the missing you is tearing me apart But forgetting

A man can't face the cold, hard truth And closing time is when I'll leave. Till then it's just between this bottle and me. Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me. With nothing less than 90 proof. Didn't come in here for your sympathy, And a honky

We have all heard what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears But what wisdom is there within us To live based on the feeling of our hearts How many times has instinct let us down Never to be thought through, never to be questioned Say

You can touch me with slow hands If my body had a say, I wouldn't turn away Touch, make love, taste you If my body told the truth, baby I would do Just what I want to There's only one thing left for us to do Speed it up, baby, make me sweat Dreamland,
