Truth
Em
The truth is that I never shook my shadow
Every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle
G
Calling out "faker" only get me rattled
Want to pull me back behind the fence with the cattle
Em
Building your lenses
Digging your trenches
Put me on the front line
Leave me with a dumb mind
G
With no defenses
But your defenses
If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless
Since this
Em
I've grown up some
Different kind of fighter
And when the darkness come let it inside you
C
Your darkness is shining
My darkness is shining
G D
Have faith in myself
Em
Truth
Em
I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying.
G
I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been underminding
Every little lie in this world come from dividing
Em
Say you're my lover, say you're my homie,
Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me
G
All out of my secrets
All my enemies are turning into my teachers.
Em
Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what's yours or mine when everything's shining
C
You darkness is shining my darkness is shining
G D
Have faith in ourselves
Em
Truth
For this part see the bottom
Yes I'm only loving, only trying to only love
That's what I'm trying to do is only loving
Yes I'm only lonely loving feeling only loving
Till I'm feeling only loving
Ya say it ain't loving ain't loving my loving
But I'm only loving only loving only loving
Only loving the truth.
