The Truth Songtext
Vows of no faith
Why do we do it to ourselves
When nothing will ever change?

Get in here nerd slut
(Nerd slut)
My promises come true, baby
With the door shut

Why do you fight the truth?
You know I've seen you
Freaking in the strobe light
A thousand eyes all over you, turned on
(I'm so turned on)

You think that you've lived the pain
Every day alone
But I was there for every feeling
Thank fuck I was always so turned on
(I'm so turned on)

Oh, I need the truth
Oh, give me the truth

How much do you want my truth?
How much do you need my truth?

Patience, boy
Patience, boy
Medicate me with contact
My loyalty's toxic
When you give me something back
(I'll give you something back)
The ghost of empathy haunts me
My spectrum life, seeing black and white
Can only lead to dis-ease

Oh, all the times you said you cared
In the flesh, but nobody there
Ghosting me into a hole, fucking with me unaware
Like nothing I've ever known

I'll deconstruct the love into lust
How are we gonna find who we're gonna fuck?
All of our appetites wetted
It can be people authentic to not feel wrong
Oh I want it to be wrong!

Oh, I need the truth
Oh, give me the truth
Oh, I need the truth
Oh, give me the truth

I need the truth

Patience, boy
Patience, boy
That's just not my strength

I commit to this contract
My loyalty is toxic
When you give me something back

(I'll give you something back)
