Caught In The Truth

An undisclosed observatory, high up in the mountains, reveals catastrophic implications for an entire civilization. An internal struggle ensues on how to relay this information and the ramifications of what it means…

Caught in a truth that’s threatening me

Planning to wreck and hinder me

Salt on a wound that’s festering

Continues to burn while coming clean

Facing the guilt the truth creates and it still stings

Forcing a smile that hides the pain

Insurance for all your vicious claims

Caught in the truth the only gain 

Pointless to accept the blame of what you accuse

Suffer through this, put my head through

the noose

Now you leave me hanging while you

keep on singing

Bout your righteousness leading to happiness

Hiding the lies your truth conceals defies the logic the truth reveals

So start to think about shedding the lies and set the truth free

Realizing how these desperate tricks are deceiving those closest to me.

And they listen. They swallow every word that you say.

They’re helpless. They believe.

Smile and nod, follow your lead. I’m locked in a cage that you create.

Suffer your deeds of pure intent, all while spinning a yarn of malcontent

Start breaking the chains that I’ve been in. Releasing the demons deep within.

All of your lies you thought were true get thrown in your face and start to bruise.

Despise the lies of this truth I must hide, unspoken rules to which I abide

Justified is my surprise when you deny the proof before your eyes

Such a shame to play this game, the objects change they’re never quite the same

Hard to tame what you can’t contain, so insane it’s happening all again

Reflections of perceptions are blurring the lines of reality

Contorting, distorting all these images that flood your vision

You’re complaining and straining to keep your virtuous side from staining

Misconceive thoughts to deceive of the truth that you refuse to believe

Excuses said to disguise a myriad of truthful lies

Suspicion through the roll of your eyes leaves little hope to compromise

Don’t know what to say, don’t know where to begin

Everything you’ve said I’ve shrugged it off with a grin

Your topsy-turvy world spins out of control

The aces in your hand you no longer hold

Someone tells you something and you take it as fact

When I tell you something different it just rolls off your back

Start to stand my ground I face you alone

Caught in the truth these chains are broke

I’m free now, do you finally believe?

A hidden flaw you did not see, a prejudice you should remedy

Time’s a fickle thing that ticks evenly onward

How about a choice that’ll let us move forward?

Gonna choose the lie that’ll pump up your pride?

Or will you accept the truth of which I hide?

It’s your decision to make, how much time will you take?

Free your mind before you decide, just weigh all the facts and look inside

Blinded by what you’re convinced to be true, creates the illusion surrounding you

You made up your mind, it didn’t take long. Here’s my response now you look, then I’m gone

Don’t know what to say don’t know where to begin

Had as much as I can have no more patience to give

Breaking all these chains has left me starving and thin

My life’s not yours, you will not win

Choking on your lies suffocating not breathing

When the body dies your views will mean nothing

Believing all these lies has led to your suffering

So take your lies and catch this truth
