Loading...

what the truth demands

i’ve been walking on the fault lines
between the lies i used to keep
every step shakes what i stand on
every word cuts in too deep

i’ve been holding back the thunder
just to keep my hands from shaking
but the truth keeps pushing harder
and i feel the ground is breaking

it takes a light
to burn the dark away
and i can’t hide
not today

this is what the truth demands
everything you fear to face
it takes your comfort by the throat
and drags it into open sp+ce
it tears the silence off your name
it pulls the mask out of your hands
this is the fire, this is the cost
this is what the truth demands
i’ve been wrestling with the shadows
of the man i used to be
every mirror shows the fracture
that the truth keeps showing me

and the price of being honest
is the weight you learn to hold
when the world begins to crumble
but your heart refuses cold

it takes a voice
to cut the noise away
and i can’t hide
not today

this is what the truth demands
everything you fear to face
it takes your comfort by the throat
and drags it into open sp+ce
it tears the silence off your name
it pulls the mask out of your hands
this is the fire, this is the cost
this is what the truth demands

and if honesty destroys me
let it cut right where i stand
‘cause i’d rather break wide open
than become what i pretend
this is what the truth demands
everything you fear to face
it takes your comfort by the throat
and drags it into open sp+ce
it tears the silence off your name
it pulls the mask out of your hands
this is the fire, this is the cost
and i’ll pay it… if it stands
