Roomful of Lies

from Heretic by Eddy Dyer

/

lyrics

The truth is only ugly in a roomful of lies
“Hello" is silhouetted by too many goodbyes.

The manner of your entry casts a shadow that moves
So fast, it gets in everything and sinks in the grooves
And they won’t let you in no matter who it behooves
And you’re just gonna stand there somehow acting surprised?
The truth is only ugly in a room full of lies.

The truth is only ugly in a roomful of lies
“Goodbye" is silhouetted by the voice asking “why?”
The center is subjective in a sea of defined,
The outstretched hand casts a shadow that’s blind
And all this shit amounts to is some fuck of the mind
And wails of indignation from a wall full of flies.
The truth is only ugly in a room full of lies.

The truth is only ugly in a room full of lies.
“Fuck you” is sometimes mirrored by the face you despise.
So lay the lead you carry at the foot of the wheel
Beside the spinning ghosts we weave a glimmer that’s real
In spite of what we tell ourselves there’s lots more to feel
Like when the world is new before our own waking eyes.
The truth is only ugly in a room full of lies.
