Truth 03:12
when we were seventeen we believed that the truth would set us free but the nice man on the screen tells me you can’t trust the things you see the truth is that we all pretend to know the truth the fact is that’s the way it’s gotta be the truth is bought and sold I’m told but not for cheap it’s harder to afford for you and me when I turned 23 I believed that the path was clear for me but the world would soon remind we’re blind in confusion and deceit and as far as I can tell true hell is to take them at their word 'cause no matter where you turn you’ll learn you can’t trust the things you heard the truth is that we all pretend to know the truth sadly that’s the way it’s gotta be worth its weight in gold, I’m told, to those agreed so paint your grimy gravel to a sheen

Sway 03:08
so you had your whole future figured out you’d conquer the whole thing and build anew but worn down by the dull grind, resigned to lie down seeds sown in the soul’s mud refused to grow so what? it’s just a ride swell terrified, alternating with the tide and these some-odd years, you’re afraid they’re passing by and you’re afraid that you lost your way it’s alright some people get only the bitter rind we don’t have it so bad, I can’t pretend and all life is a tough grind, at least we know grow, nurture and chop down and start again so what? it’s just a ride swell terrified, alternating with the tide and these some-odd years, you’re afraid they’re passing by and you’re afraid that you lost your way it’s all right

Headrush 02:33
car crash on 95 nobody left alive a man cries as we crawl by slightly inconvenienced I know that I am to die when the time comes same as any other day come awake feeling blank take my place same as any other drone feel alone heading home to the blank resolve that I’ll be happy later I’ll fly far and wide I’ll be fine, yeah just like in the stories fall fall off my bike hit the sidewalk and when my skull cracks I’ll be with all the others down so you’re really down on brutal life well you keep complaining but you seem alright upper middle class educated and white if you’re feeling down fucking go outside a conscious mind is a heavy load built for a time so long ago well if you’re scared you can leave right now yeah if you’re scared you can leave right now but I’m not ready to go I’m not ready to go just now

Life 01:49
gotta be in love open up your heart ‘cause love is all we need gotta live it up joyful til the end because this life is all we got gotta give it all gotta make your mark ignite a spark and seize the day gotta have a dream never be afraid ‘cause anything’s attainable a shame I wanted to go, but oh I didn’t have the money said that she was fine promised me, but I can’t shake the thought it’s not okay I felt so lonesome yesterday I thought about the future looking back on wasted days I won’t be anybody yeah! alas every time I try, I find I’m always where I started I said this is it sorry but it hurts too much to see you for a while another winter on the way another year is gone for me one day I’ll lose my wits, become another ugly body yeah! gotta be in love ‘cause love is all we need but man I sure could use some money I should call a friend but I could use some drugs right now they really take the edge off
