Denial Songtext

von Ten Foot Pole

It's funny how a little truth can put things in perspective
Usually I try to hide from all of life's unpleasantries
Like corruption, lies and users
Try to ignore all the abusers
But sometimes truth just slaps me in the face

And I can't hide
Try to deny deception but now I see the other side
I can't hide
Try to regain my innocence but something's changed inside

Funny how perceptions change when you know secret history
Suddenly you see right past the thin veil of diplomacy
Like the smiles that invite glare at you
Like they're filled with spite
The warm handshakes just seem so out of place
And I can't hide

Every person has a dark side please don't show me yours
I don't really think I want to know you can't be trusted
They say the truth will set you free
But they don't say how deep the cut will be
Trust dies and paranoia takes its place
And I can't hide
