Truth Teller

--------------------

I was raised in a house of echoes 
All the hallways spoke in tongues
Every truth I placed like lanterns
Snuffed out before they ever left my lungs

You twist my words so you can stay the same 
I’m climbing mountains just to take the blame

Ignore all reason
It threatens your design
You’d trust a stranger
Over blood that's intwined

I held the match to show the way
A spark to light a brighter day
You only saw the fire
You labeled me a liar
So throw me on the pyre

It’s all a well rehearsed alibi
Praise a reflection born of fabrication
You guard the lie you deify
Nailed to a cross of self preservation

I’m the ghost in the weight that you feel
You’re the voice to brand the truth as surreal

I held the match to show the way
A spark to light a brighter day
You only saw the fire
You labeled me a liar
So throw me on the pyre

One day you’ll know that I was never the storm
Only the sky to bear its form

I am the ghost in the weight you feel
I am the reason that you know it's real

I held the match to show the way
A spark to light a brighter day
You only saw the fire
You labeled me a liar
So throw me on the pyre
