Searching for the Truth

Nothing's what I thought it was before
I used to think the world was true and now I'm not so sure
'Cause everyone including me is always tryna be somethin' they're not
Oh, I don't see the things that I used to see
Everywhere I go, somebody's tryna sell somethin' to me
But who's the asshole that convinced us all happiness isn't free?

It feels like a river keeps unwindin'
It feels like a clock with awful timin'
Everybody's full of shit, there's no denyin'
It feels like I'm searchin' for the truth
In a world that's always lyin'

I don't dream the way I used to dream
Now that I'm older, people say they're way out of my reach
And all a college degree taught me is that passion ain't somethin' you can teach

It feels like the love, it keeps on dyin'
Feels like the break in a silver linin'
Everybody's full of shit, there's no denyin'
It feels like I'm searchin' for the truth
In a world that's always lyin'

Set you free
Troubles set you free

I don't love the way I used to love
Once I gave myself to someone who said it'd never be enough
But a broken heart has shown me that I still know how to get back up

It feels like the sunrise keeps on risin'
Feels like the stars keep alignin'
With every precious day I'm given, I'm reminded
To keep on searchin' for the truth
Yeah, keep on searchin' for the truth
In a world that's always lyin'
