Hiding From the Truth

No that’s wrong, I agree
I don’t know, I can’t see
That’s a lie, no it’s true
I don’t know what to do
Looking to the ground and never looking ahead
I’ll only be misled
So let’s hide from the truth instead

Th-th-the shadows of doubt
That cover this route
Protect the unknown
Distorting what’s shown

The truth that’s ahead
The trail to it’s red
It’s all so clear
That’s what I fear

Th-th-the case is put forth
Truth’s south and lie’s north
Walking either way
Facing the betrayed

It really does hurt
A view that sees the worst
Wrapping around me
Leaving me bloody

I use this shield to
Obscure the picture
Unable to undo
All that was injured
Veering to the wrong side
Leaving the truth behind
Since it’s much easier to
Hide

C-cause it’s painful knowing about the worst to come
Eating me up inside until I succumb
I-I-I don’t know the answer, and I don’t want to
Is that a lie or the painful truth?
No that’s wrong, I agree
I don’t know, I can’t see
That’s a lie, no it’s true
I don’t know what to do
Looking to the ground and never looking ahead
I’ll only be misled
So let’s hide from the truth instead

The trust is heavy
And I’m not ready
To hold this burden
Won’t it just worsen?

I’m caught in the crutch
Of knowing too much
Tying round my neck

Killing me
It’s ironic
Just how much illogic
Is pulsing through my mind as I face the answer

Either way’s death
Someone taking their last breath
Clinging onto me
Leaving you bloodied

I used this shield to
Obscure the picture
Unable to undo
All that was injured
Veering to the wrong side
Leaving the truth behind
Since it’s much easier to
Lie

No that’s wrong, I agree
I don’t know, I can’t see
That’s a lie, no it’s true
I don’t know what to do
Looking to the ground and never looking ahead
You’ll only end up dead
So let’s hide from the truth instead

It’s painful knowing about the worst to come
Eating me up inside until I succumb
I-I-I don’t know the answer, and I don’t want to
I wish that was the truth

'C-'cause it’s painful knowing about the worst to come
Pointing to the truth that I’ve been hiding from
It’s excruciating what I have to do
Turning from you and grabbing the truth
No that’s wrong, I agree
I know now, I can see
All the lies all the truths
(You know what you have to do)
Looking in your eyes and loathing where this has lead
You’ll only end up dead
So let’s destroy the truth instead
