The Truth

I’m a liar and a sinner A thief and an addict I pretend that I’m the winner When really I’m the loser I toy with your minds Telling you stories That I make up on a whim I don’t even know what’s real anymore My fantasies and life collided So that you come up with the wrong conclusions The religious tell me it’s not too late Repent and be saved But I know it is… My judgment day is coming And it’s coming hard and fast You tell each other that – It’ll be alright She really doesn’t mean it But I do and it’s true… Its over the gigs up I want out and for it all to end Just some peace and quiet No more thinking, hurting, dying, or confusion I want to tell you something Before I go though I’m sorry and I’d change if it helped But I’m out of time and patience for it I’m sorry I was the way I was And all the stupid crap I put you through Just to see your reaction Trust me its all as easy and fine as it’ll ever be I’m sorry for it all But trust me on one thing Your day will come too When your soul and deeds Will be put on the scales Raised for all to see And you get that feeling The feeling of doubt and wonder If you’ll pass or not And he’ll tell you on that very day The righteous and mighty Shall watch and stare On judgment day on us all.
