The Truth

Under a sea came up for air
Opened my eyes and heard release herĀ 
A heady blur of charcoal white
Still needle-filled she said release her

And I went home that day she’d left by nightfall
But letting go was all I had to do

Don’t want for what you cannot have
Forgive or don’t but just release her
So I took stock and harbored down
Wandered for years then just released her

‘Cause I went home that day she’d left by nightfall
But letting go was all I had to do
I spat black and blood ‘til all the bad in me was gone
Purged of everything except the truth

Not helping me just saving you and you knew it
I know it happened I’ve got pictures that prove it
Not helping me just saving you and you knew it
You called me crazy and well yeah maybe but I know the truth

I went home that day she’d left by nightfall
But letting go was all I had to do
I spilled black and blood ‘til all the best in me was gone
Purged of everything except the truth
