Born of Osiris

Truth And Denial

Born of Osiris


I lie straight to my face 
Feeling like an empty windowpane 
My eyes dried - locked and wiped clean 
I try not to hate myself 

Both sides on me 
Stay right or bleed 
Difficult to see 
Where I've come from 
And where I belong 
Face what's gone 
What went wrong? 
A plan to kill or leave 
I've waited way too long
Hearts change; sealed, encased 
Where I am is where I should be 

I lie straight to my face 
Feeling like an empty windowpane 
My eyes dried - locked and wiped clean 
I try not to hate myself 

Now I'll have my peace 
Both sides on me 
What's still obtaining my justice 
Of calm effort 
Trust us, the light in the wall still shines and 
Carries me out to my own kind 
A balance we've danced 
From the first to the last time

Jump to conclusions 
Run - stay elusive 
I play out the matters of truth and denial 
Dumbed down and loosely intrusive 
And truly escaping a foolish will of desire 
Stand true through a maze of deception 
The start can always be the ending 

I lie straight to my face 
Feeling like an empty windowpane
My eyes dried - locked and wiped clean
I try not to hate myself
