Truth I Know

Truth I Know - F**ked Up

I won't say I'm guilty

But the truth has changed

Trust me my friend

It'll end better this way

I couldn't watch quietly

And I won't pretend

To understand

I don't feign piety

But why would a God ever want to be

I could feign stories

Of regret and woe

But morals implore me

To share the truth that I know

I couldn't watch quietly

And I won't pretend

To understand

I don't feign piety

But why would God

Choose to be a man

So it's stressful days

Followed by restless nights

But I know I'm just

I bear the burden of right

And it's worse for the liar

Than the one deceived

Don't offer me solace

Because I don't believe

I couldn't watch quietly

And I won't pretend

To understand

I won't feign piety

But why would God choose to be a

The dimmest bulb in that factory

Tore her away

And our hearts still bleed

I couldn't watch quietly

And I don't pretend

To understand

I won't feign piety

But why would God choose to be a

And what of the fate of Veronica dear

He manipulates you with crocodile tears

And I can't pretend that it's alright

That his human darkness snuffed her light

So fathers don't cast your blame

In my place you'd do the same

And mother do what thou wilt

It erodes us like the silt

Their sons destroy our world

By stealing your little girls

The daughter you've loved from birth

Slumbers beneath the earth

So ask yourself what is one life worth

When measured against the children we birthed

Yet he is free to live and carry on

And she had to die and it's all so wrong

I will have order in this court room

I will have order in this court

I will have I will have

Order Order Order Order

The ones who make history

And the ones who repeat

All wind up the same under our feet

But what survives is what's passed down

I have my legacy and I am proud
