An undisclosed observatory, high up in the mountains, reveals catastrophic implications for an entire civilization. An internal struggle ensues on how to relay this information and the ramifications of what it means… Caught in a truth that’s threatening me Planning to wreck and hinder me Salt on a wound that’s festering Continues to burn while coming clean Facing the guilt the truth creates and it still stings Forcing a smile that hides the pain Insurance for all your vicious claims Caught in the truth the only gain Pointless to accept the blame of what you accuse Suffer through this, put my head through the noose Now you leave me hanging while you keep on singing Bout your righteousness leading to happiness Hiding the lies your truth conceals defies the logic the truth reveals So start to think about shedding the lies and set the truth free Realizing how these desperate tricks are deceiving those closest to me. And they listen. They swallow every word that you say. They’re helpless. They believe. Smile and nod, follow your lead. I’m locked in a cage that you create. Suffer your deeds of pure intent, all while spinning a yarn of malcontent Start breaking the chains that I’ve been in. Releasing the demons deep within. All of your lies you thought were true get thrown in your face and start to bruise. Despise the lies of this truth I must hide, unspoken rules to which I abide Justified is my surprise when you deny the proof before your eyes Such a shame to play this game, the objects change they’re never quite the same Hard to tame what you can’t contain, so insane it’s happening all again Reflections of perceptions are blurring the lines of reality Contorting, distorting all these images that flood your vision You’re complaining and straining to keep your virtuous side from staining Misconceive thoughts to deceive of the truth that you refuse to believe Excuses said to disguise a myriad of truthful lies Suspicion through the roll of your eyes leaves little hope to compromise Don’t know what to say, don’t know where to begin Everything you’ve said I’ve shrugged it off with a grin Your topsy-turvy world spins out of control The aces in your hand you no longer hold Someone tells you something and you take it as fact When I tell you something different it just rolls off your back Start to stand my ground I face you alone Caught in the truth these chains are broke I’m free now, do you finally believe? A hidden flaw you did not see, a prejudice you should remedy Time’s a fickle thing that ticks evenly onward How about a choice that’ll let us move forward? Gonna choose the lie that’ll pump up your pride? Or will you accept the truth of which I hide? It’s your decision to make, how much time will you take? Free your mind before you decide, just weigh all the facts and look inside Blinded by what you’re convinced to be true, creates the illusion surrounding you You made up your mind, it didn’t take long. Here’s my response now you look, then I’m gone Don’t know what to say don’t know where to begin Had as much as I can have no more patience to give Breaking all these chains has left me starving and thin My life’s not yours, you will not win Choking on your lies suffocating not breathing When the body dies your views will mean nothing Believing all these lies has led to your suffering So take your lies and catch this truth
