Between The Truth And The Lie

In life, there's two kinds of stories
One's vulnerable, and real and raw
Then there's a selfish unfolding
Where we confirm all that is wrong

We sacrifice who we love
To save a version of ourselves
Meanwhile, our heart is decaying
Our weary eyes grow tired of
Trying to find our way

Headlines. Lies deceiving my mind
Truth on trial, barely holding on
Seek out voices being cast down
Somewhere between the truth and the lie
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise

In every word that's spoken
There's all these little lines
To read between and through them
A challenge for a prideful mind

No guilt, no shame, no envy
We all just want to know what's real
But if we're our own jury
Then reality dies

Headlines. Lies deceiving my mind
Truth on trial, barely holding on
Seek out voices being cast down
Somewhere between the truth and the lie
No compromise

I always know the answer
I always know the answer
I always know the answer
They never know the answer

I always know the answer
I always know the answer
I always know the answer
I always know the answer

They never know the answer
They never know the answer
They never know the answer
They never know the answer

In life, there's two kinds of stories
In life, there's two kinds of stories

Headlines. Lies deceiving my mind
Truth on trial, barely holding on
Seek out voices being cast down
Somewhere between the truth and the lie
No compromise
No compromise
