In life, there's two kinds of stories
One's vulnerable and real and raw
Then there's a selfish unfolding
Where we confirm all that is wrong
We sacrifice who we love
To save a version of ourselves
Meanwhile, our heart is decaying
Our weary eyes grow tired of
Trying to find our way
Headlines, lies deceiving my mind
Truth on trial, barely holding on
Seek out voices being cast down
Somewhere between the truth and the lie
No compromise
No compromise
No compromise
In every word that's spoken
There's all these little lines
To read between and through them
A challenge for a prideful mind
No guilt, no shame, no envy
We all just want to know what's real
But if we're our own jury
Then reality dies
Headlines, lies deceiving my mind
Truth on trial, barely holding on
Seek out voices being cast down
Somewhere between the truth and the lie
No compromise
I always know the answer
I always know the answer
I always know the answer
They never know the answer
I always know the answer
I always know the answer
I always know the answer
I always know the answer
They never know the answer
They never know the answer
They never know the answer
They never know the answer
In life, there's two kinds of stories
In life, there's two kinds of stories
Headlines, lies deceiving my mind
Truth on trial, barely holding on
Seek out voices being cast down
Somewhere between the truth and the lie
No compromise
No compromise
