Let The Truth Sting

David Gray

The hour is out of joint Black sun has risen And the river of words Is flowing on through The cages of tradition They're handing out emptiness We'll take it, 'cause it's given Free with this plastic innocence And these standards of living Questions, lighted questions Burnin' holes into my head Hanging like shadows o'er the sun Staring out like the eyes of the dead And sometimes my soul flickers As the wind of change blows cold Over the mire of repetition Down the corridors of rigamarole What I say, what I think What I put down in ink I'm only tryin' to find a way to understand And I mean no harm I'm just searching for calm In the storm of mankind Do you find it there In the sea of faces That drowns you every day Or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces Where children and rottweilers play Is it buried in the praise Given so cheap With a meaningless movement of the jaws In the looking glass That flatters you Or in the rattle of hollow applause Blind circle, moon and sun Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting From the hub to the limit Through the urban hollows Out into the poles of the extreme To echo through the numbness Of these godless minutes In the shadow of delusion's regime But here watching the night As it opens like a flower And the day starts to rust Feeling time pound Like a silent hammer On this empire of dust And I'm thinking 'bout the bullet And the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist And if we're searching for peace How come we still believe In hatred as the catalyst Through the borderline In front and behind Down the road of thorns Between the the barbwire and the soul Bitters and chains Is all that remains Where the wheel has rolled I feel it from the pit of my stomach Into the ditch of my mind Inside the chambers of my heart As I stare half blind At these walls of cardboard At this space that I've rented At your beauty that is crumbling Though you try so hard to prevent it On and on Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting Let the truth sting Let the truth sting
