lyrics

tell me a true story
make it sweet and/or gorey
make me forget where im at
take me on a high that will last

take me away from myself
take me away from myself
take me to the edge of freedom
make me believe in freedom
take me away from myself
take me away from myself
take me out of my skin
take me out of my skin

light a candle
distract me
from the darkness
again
illuminate something
I can believe
and defend

tell me your textbook truths
tell me you theories proofs
tell me your myths and dreams
dont forget what they mean

I dont know but I care
I dont know but I care
I want to be aware
I want to be aware
I dont know but I care
I dont know but I care
it hurts to be aware
it hurts to be aware

so wrap up truth in fiction
something to romanticize
fit reality in tv,
I dont want to strain my eyes

cause I dont have enough
peripheral vision
to see it all
I cant see behind my eyes
and I cant see ideas at all

paint me a picture of love
paint me a picture of love
paint me a picture of beauty
make me believe in beauty
paint me a picture of truth
paint me a picture of truth
paint me a picture of sanity
paint me a picture of sanity

is anyone really literate enough to understand
that that cant be put in words by woman or man?

Just tell me the best you can
no hard feelings if you cant
frame this frame story and
hang it on a stream of times sand

somethings they just dont fit
somethings they just dont fit
eternity in a moment
eternity in a moment
somethings they just cant fit
somethings they just cant fit
everything in a word
everything in a word

you cant trap truth
into a simple story line
cause theres always a greater context
that could make it a lie
