truths are honest
but honesty is not truth
when each moment changes
all the world changes too
it was there seconds ago
but now gone from our lives
don’t search for the answers
for the words will not revive
instead know this
when I say it
know I mean it
that is all you can wish
but when looking to the past
trust nothing
trust no one
or this happiness will be the last
the words leave
but echoes stay
echoes of old vows
now longer in play
once true
now false
once warm
now cold
once freedom
now death
so trust my words not
and I won’t trust you
don’t look back
because we’ll lose what’s true
