You want true expression, and true honesty
Or so you claim
You don't want the heat that comes with a call for the flame
You don't want to be enveloped in the purity of anyone
I hear you ask for honesty, and I know you don't want it
You want facsimiles, you want approximations, but truth is not for you
We have ego strokes, crutches, blinders, confused priorities
We have people set in their ways, and idealists lacking perspective
I want truth, I want life to blossom unfiltered, raw, and untouched
But if we can't even agree on medicines for diseases
If we can't even agree on who to let live
who to nurture
what to be upset about
Who to feed
When the answers are clearly spelled out
How do you expect me to feel like you even want truth?

You want facsimiles, you want approximations, but truth is not for you
We have ego strokes, crutches, blinders, confused priorities

I want truth, I want life to blossom unfiltered, raw, and untouched
But if we can't even agree on medicines for diseases
If we can't even agree on who to let live
who to nurture
what to be upset about
Who to feed
When the answers are clearly spelled out
How do you expect me to feel like you even want truth?
