Behind The Lie

If there is a trace
Of pure compassion
In your eyes I cannot see it
If there is love
Behind that cold exterior
I've yet to feel or sense it here

All the hours passed have been in vain
Let this passion flame out with a toast
To the dark where all our dreams will go to die
'Cause I could not see it
I could not see it
The truth behind the lie
I could not see the truth behind the lie

If there is a line
Make it a demarcation
Between our actions and our words
In truth and time
No reconciliation
This severance is now complete

All the hours passed have been in vain
Let this passion flame out with a toast
To the dark where all our dreams will go to die
'Cause I could not see it
I could not see it
The truth behind the lie
I could not see the truth behind the lie

Here at the end
Where time has ceased for us
Here at the end of all we were
This is the end
There's nothing left out here
I now can see behind the lie

All the hours passed have been in vain
Let this passion flame out with a toast
To the dark where all our dreams will go to die
'Cause I could not see it
I could not see it
The truth behind the lie
I could not see the truth behind the lie
