Green became red, light turned into dark
The balance was shifted by a single remark
Elements drifted in the final array
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday
Say what you want, say what you will
You can't take it back and hope that we stand still
Filaments burned out due to faster decay
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday

Shadows lengthen as the day turns into hell
Demons pursue as I crawl into my shell
I begged for you to show me the truth
I thought I could take the truth
Daylight retreats as I tumble down your well
Nothing matters as I follow those who fell
I thought I could take the truth
The truth lies...cries...dies

Cheeks became flushed,
Blood rushed to my head
My stomach felt like a container of lead
Dignity fled like a car down the highway
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday
Eyes became guns, words turned into screams
Your pupils betrayed you with a flickering gleam
Your pity flowed out as your final display
When I found out the truth, last Tuesday

Hades applauds all these stories that you tell
Heavens silenced by the banging of your bell
I begged for you to show me the truth
I thought I could take the truth
No one listens to objections that I yell
Nothing matters as I sit in some motel
I thought I could take the truth
The truth lies...cries...dies

I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...the truth lies
I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...
I thought I could take it...the truth lies
I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)
I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)
I thought I could take it...(the truth lies)
The truth lies
