Life is told by truth and lies
Truth that lives, but quickly dies
We lost the battle and I am gone
I was not found, but life goes on
Many looked and could not find
The brave soldier who lost his mind
I am all around you, but well concealed
The wounds I cover have not healed
Those graves I dug are very real
Sorrow for them you know I do not feel
They had names just like you
Their lives were strong and sadly true
Believe me my confession is pure
Though how many I cannot be sure
I wish to leave that life behind
But that life is now and so unkind
You do not love as deep as me
Yet, I can **** and quickly flee
Your heart is dark and full of lies
You tried to cover up with murky skies
My life is safe from ghosts like you
The blood on my hands is on yours too
The lies I tell you hold hidden truth
Look closely and you'll find the proof
Every story I tell I leave a piece of me behind
There are so many, myself I cannot find
But I remember that life is told by truth and lies
Truth that lives, but quickly dies
