What Is Truth?

from The Water Temple by Thrift Store Talent

/

lyrics

the people here have got the wrong words about me
but they carry them all the same
it’s strange how a simple crow's foot
can make your whole face change
who are you looking for? who?

i haven't slept since Tuesday. it’s not like me. it hurts
you’re sending all your ghosts to tear out our canteens and coats
i think i dug my hole enough to hide what you seek
i haven't lied at all in two whole weeks
who are you looking for?

the medicus says i have 6 months at best
i thought it wise to write you and put our demons to rest
we both were wrong, but you more, so i just want to forget
forgive, and lie down quiet without your voices in my head
who are you looking for? who?

you can't follow the shepherd unless you've got legs to stand
you can't answer the questions unless you know the one who asks
you can't hide in a mask if you put it on while they were here
you can't kill your demon if you've welcomed his brothers in
