Truth Comes Down
Verse 1 :
Everything is not what it seems
So many pretty pretty things
Sometimes what you see is all you get
No future Shangri-La
Just compromise
With thoughts and lies
All your life –
Chorus:
When the truth comes down
The truth comes down
We better put our faith in something
When the truth comes
The truth comes down
It’s a miracle
lost and found
Verse 2
when reality starts to cave in
the mindless mob will suck you in
civility is thrown aside
where will you reside?
Chorus:
When the truth comes down
The truth comes down
We better put our faith in something
When the truth comes down
The truth comes down
It’s a miracle
Bridge:
Can you handle it when the voices come to you
and they tell you something crazy like it’s all up to you
Can you handle it when a fish starts talkin’ to you sayin’
You are chosen
You are chosen
You are chosen
You are chosen
(chosen chosen )
Chorus/Outro
When the truth comes down
The truth comes down
We better put our faith in something
When the truth comes down
The truth comes down
It’s a miracle
a miracle
(truth comes down )
the truth
(truth comes down truth comes down)
the truth is coming down
The Truth
Is coming down down down
the truth
Is coming down
It’s a miracle lost and found

56 Trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week
56 trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week
never want to read the news
I’m an idiot
It’s what I choose
Couldn’t avoid it this time
Saw the headline
56 Trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week
56 Trees were removed today
56 trees
No wonder it’s so hard to breathe
No wonder it’s so hard
No proof no proof
Were they ever here at all
Displaced removed
In the middle of the night
Where’d they go?
Were they taken by some sanitation truck
And thrown into a massive grave
No sign no sign no sign Disappeared into thin air
Limbs trunks roots strewn everywhere
Limbs trunks roots strewn everywhere
Just like at least 56 people and their families are taken
Each and every day
Never heard from again
Never heard from again
Never heard from again
56 Trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week
56 Trees were removed today
56 trees
no wonder it’s so hard to breathe
no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder it’s so hard to breathe
no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder it’s so hard to breathe
no wonder
no wonder
no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder
no wonder
no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder
no wonder
no wonder
no wonder

I don't need you anymore for day to day,
for normal things
I just need you
To stoke the wild fire that burns within
Take you apart
Explore you
I think I know you
cause we are both the same
You are my anger my love my passion
You are my fear my hate my darkness
Yes, you are
explode me please
into smithereens
I just want to love you far away,
from this world
forget the trivialities
shed my shell,
remove the raving lunacy
wrap myself around you and within you
cause we are both the same
You are my anger my love my passion
You are my fear my hate my darkness
Yes, you are
explode me please
into smithereens
na na na na
na na na
na na na na
na na na
na na na na
na na na
I don't need you anymore for day to day,
for normal things
I just need you
To stoke the wild fire that burns within
Flood you
Still you,
with my waters
cause we are both the same
we are both the same
we are both the same
na na na na
na na na

Hold Fast Your Dreams
Within your heart
Hold Fast your dreams
In one sacred spot
Where sheltered so
Will thrive and grow
Where doubt and fear
Are not
Hold Fast Your Dreams
Within your heart
And keep them safe
In your world a part
With wishes that
Have not come true
Let hope and magic work for you
Hold Fast Your Dreams
Hold Fast Your Dreams
(spoken word)
Maybe she did see things differently with that birth-marked eye. They had no idea what she saw, what they were blind to, and would always be kept from, of her world. It was a door locked to them forever.
You see, with one eye life was exactly as it was explained to her. But With the other, she saw into, through, above their world. (end spoken word)
So Keep a place within your heart
A place for dreams to start
Hold Fast Your Dreams
Hold Fast Your Dreams
