David Gray - Let The Truth Sting Lyrics
The hour is out of jointBlack sun has risenAnd the river of wordsIs flowing on throughThe cages of traditionAnd theyre handing out emptinessWell take it cos its givenFree with this plastic innocenceAnd these standards of livingQuestions lighted questionsBurnin holes into my headHanging like shadows oer the sunStaring out like the eyes of the deadAnd sometimes my soul flickersWhen the wind of change blows coldOver the mire of repetitionDown the corridors of rigmaroleWhat I say, what I thinkWhat I put down in inkIm only trying to find a way to understandAnd I mean no harmIm just searching for calmIn the storm of mankindDo you find it thereIn the sea of facesThat drowns you everydayOr in the silence and rubble and empty spacesWhere children and rottweilers playIs it buried in the praiseGiven so cheapWith a meaningless movement of the jawsIn the looking glassThat flatters youOr in the rattle of hollow applauseBlind circle, moon and sun body willing, mind undoneOne pain ending while another beginsLies, ruin diseaseInto wounds like theseLet the truth stingFrom the hub to the limitThrough the urban hollowsOut into the poles of the extremeTo echo through the numbnessOf these godless minutesIn the shadow of delusions regimeAnd here watching the nightAs it opens like a flowerAnd the day starts to rustFeeling time poundLike a silent hammerOn this empire of dustAnd Im thinking bout the bulletAnd the tv screen, the dollar, and the clenched fistAnd if were searching for peaceHow come we still believeIn hatred as the catalystOh through the borderlineIn front and behindOne pain endingWhile another beginLies, ruin diseaseInto wounds like theseLet the truth singYeahLet the truthAnd I feel it from the pit of my stomachInto the ditch of my mindInside the chambers of my heartAs I stare half blindAt these walls of cardboardAt this space that Ive rentedAt your beauty that is crumblingThough you try so hard to prevent itOn and onBody willing, mind undoneOne pain ending while another beginsLies, ruin, diseaseInto wounds like theseLet the truth stingLet the truth stingLet the truth sting
