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 truth comes down We better put our faith in something When the truth comes 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 truth comes down We better put our faith in something When the truth comes down 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 RAP: Here comes the truth straight down the pipeline think you can hang stick to the white lie time will reveal whose on the right side truth will prevail just don't get sidelined red pill or blue lie or the truth whichever one you choose you cant hide from you when it rains it pours cat dogs and wars look into their eyes see all their flaws Temporary pain the truth still remains its the one who lies that casts all the blame trust yourself you hold the key unlock the truth and set yaself free Chorus (Outro) When the truth comes down truth comes down We better put our faith in something When the truth comes down truth comes down Truth comes down Truth comes down Cause the truth is coming down Truth is coming down Better put our faith in something Truth is coming down The truth is coming down It's a miracle Lost and found Truth comes down (yeah) Truth comes down (yeah) Truth comes down (whoo) The truth is coming down (yeah) Truth is coming down (yeah) Truth is coming down (whoo) Truth is coming down (whoo) Truth is coming down (yeah) The truth is coming down Watch your heads!!

Just when I was feelin' really good and clean and comfy Like when your mama take you out of your bath and wraps you up with one of them towels with the hoods and pours baby powder all over you. MMMMMM. I was feeling fine. And just then it grabbed me by the throat, so hard, I couldn't breathe, so hard, I could feel my chest burst and the next thing I knew, my heart was racing and I couldn't stop it and my usual optimistic self was seeing the whole world in blueeeee Afraid it's coming down on me And my turn is comin' next keep me a prisoner forever And forever seems so long in blue don't wanna drown in blue Drown in Blue Don't wanna drown in blue Drown in blue (I'm on the move, I'm on the move) I can't stop, cause if I do (Blue) the party's over, the party's over, (Blue( The party's over.

Sitting at a café wondering why The countertop is awfully high How did I get here How did I get here Waiting at the station counting sheep (Willoughby, next stop, Willoughby) They are so tired they haven't made a peep How did I get here How did I get here Chorus: Once upon a time I had a dream Once upon a time I had a dream Had a dream Had a dream Had A Dream Verse: Hold my breath until my face turns blue Don't diagnose me it's something I do (are you comfortable in that chair?) How did I get here How did I get here SPOKEN: He said: A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws Why? Because a miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws, he said A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws Verse: Falling sideways at the movie show (so far so good) That's Ok I was in the first row How did I get here How did I get here Laughing at our screaming every day I don't mind it, I just slip away How did we get here How did we get here (how did we get here) Chorus: Once upon a time I had a dream Once upon a time I had a dream Had a dream Had a dream Had A Dream Had a dream (repeat) Verse: hold my face until my breath turns blue happy ever after how bout you?
