lyrics

The Truth Has Many Enemies

the truth has many enemies
the lie so many friends
nature full of subterfuge
the arc of justice bends

the truth is seldom absolute
and lies will burrow in
virtue such an asymptote
a badge we never win

spirit called for witness
he offered what he could
all that lay beneath the waves
the terror and the good

the truth so hard to offer
when we fear what they’ll do
pinocchio dodged consequence
and so his long nose grew

the truth so inconvenient
it might undo the plan
feral nation of the lie
just grabbing what we can

spirit called for witness
he offered what he could
all that lay beneath the waves
the terror and the good

the truth can build a scaffold
lies leach like acid rain
deluge of avoidance
come tumbling down again

spirit called for witness
he offered what he could
all that lay beneath the waves
the terror and the good
