Sad Truth Songtext

and yet still you sigh
Why is the sad truth no better than a simple lie?

Shake from calm
learning from a naá¯ve child
Find faith too late
Too late to make the demons wild
Need these waking dreams
just to keep the fever mild

Why is the sad truth
no better than a simple lie?
Here in the heartland
leaving us high and dry
Say all the right words
and yet still you sigh
Why is the sad truth no better than a simple lie?

Stir from haze
Angels light the empty way I'll carry on
all through the final day
Lose those waking dreams
in the end I cannot stay.
