Truth I Know Songtext
von Fucked 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.

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.
