I Need The Truth

It's so confusing, these extremes
Just endless schemes
Walking alone, I stop and think
We're on the brink

In this division of sides
Truth slowly dies
And only those standing in between can see
What's gonna be

If the right decisions aren't made in time
Refined, aligned
And renewed, or chaos will arise in this land
No way back, no control, just slipping through our hands

I just want the truth, the truth
Not the noise, not the proof
Everybody's getting loud
Trying just to drown it out

I just want the truth, the truth
Cut it deep, let it through
If we keep on going blind
We're just running out of time

Promises lost in the wind
Built paper thin
Narratives crafted in fear
Pulling you in

And the crowd keeps going blind
Fails to see
The system was designed
For you and me

And at the end of it all
Who takes the fall?
The same ones every time
Who lose it all

Lower your voice, hear the sound
Truth doesn't scream when it's found
We built a war in our minds
Now we're just choosing our sides

I just want the truth, the truth
Not the noise, not the proof
Everybody's getting loud
Trying just to drown it out

I just want the truth, the truth
Cut it deep, let it through
If we keep on going blind
We're just running out of time
