Two birds, one stone
One shot, I've thrown
Both these wrongs don't make us right
And so it goes, I suppose
We've sunk to this low tonight
They say the truth will set you free
Maybe, possibly
But not before it rips your chest out
And not before it puts your back against the wall
There's a painful coalition
A cardiac collision involved
That's how it sets you free
Two eyes shut tight
Two hands to block the light
Otherwise we just might see
And you and me will be forcibly set free
They say the truth will bring you to your knees
That it might make me a better me
But not before it rips your chest out
And not before it puts your back against the wall
There's a painful coalition
A cardiac collision involved
The truth might set you free
But first it's gonna set fire to your house
It takes what you've been trusting
And breaks it down to nothing at all
Say hello to honest weather
Say goodbye to make-believe
We've been saved from our pretenses
By the skin of missing teeth
Eyes wide open here together
Maybe you and me could be
Uncomfortably, reluctantly, inconveniently released
One bird, two wings
One you, one me
I don't know what I don't know
But all I know is I've got no stones left to throw
What's the point of living comfortably
If what doesn't kill you sets you free
That's how it sets you free
