Tear off the outside and look underneath
You know the words by heart, but refuse to sing
What takes you to the edge
Is more than you can let go of
But what keeps you in the battle
Is the scent of freedom

The smoke is drifting with the winds of change
You wait for summer then you pray for rain
You've got the face of a brother
But your eyes can betray your friend
You've got the heart of a lover
But you're dead without it

The Truth can tell a lover
But the Truth won't tell a lie
Its wounds will keep you bleeding
But it doesn't compromise
No, it doesn't compromise
