The Truth |
It’s all relative, right? |
One thought, many thinkers |
One flame, many cinders |
One view, many windows |
Love in a time without sacrifice |
We want what we want |
And what’s more, we deserve it |
We run around panicking |
Nervous, thinking |
Could this be the one? |
Man, they’re perfect |
Couple years later |
You’re chained to the circuit |
Breaking them down |
As if you’re determined to waste what you’ve found |
But what’s true about you? |
Is it the things that you claim to be true |
Or is it deeper? |
Lurking in places that you |
Don’t dare to journey to |
Faced with a new |
Way of seeing it |
Are you the type to accept |
Or the type to clench fists and reject? |
Whose truth even counts? |
Is it the person who doubts |
What a person proclaims they’re about? |
Whose version is perfect? |
Is there a truth that exists |
Outside of perception? |
This is the question |
It’s true if you believe it |
The world is the world |
But it’s all how you see it |
One man’s flash of lightning ripping through the air |
Is another’s passing glare, its hardly there |
Two people |
One thinks Two’s deceitful |
Two thinks One’s plain evil |
One loved Two so much it was like worship |
Two thought One was perfect |
One said to Two |
‘I'm awful, trust me |
You’re so pure that you should not touch me.' |
Two said |
‘I don’t care, I love you |
I can’t wait to know you.' |
One said |
‘I'm scared, I will show you |
The bad side that I don’t like.' |
Two said |
‘Be yourself and I will be myself |
We don’t need no one else |
With their opinions |
The past is gone, let’s move on |
Make present.' |
Two said |
‘Ok, you’re the best.' |
Well, you know the rest — |
It all went sour |
And now Two thinks One is mad for power |
One thinks Two tried to devour |
Everything that made One One |
But Two thinks One got Two too wrong |
So if there’s one truth that lasts forever |
Can two truths ever exist together? |
If One loves Two but Two don’t love |
Whose truth is true and is truth enough? |
In the back of the cab |
The girls look at each other, like |
‘What the fuck was that?' |
‘I thought it was that In Da Club one.' |
‘I don’t know,' says the driver, ‘I never liked rap.' |
‘Well, can’t you put it on Magic then |
Or something like that?' |
