Truth (Live Albany 2004)

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find the truth
Because it ain't here, it's nowhere near
I gotta find it, I gotta find the truth
If I lose my mind, well I don't care

[Chorus 1]
The truth is in plain contradiction, yeah
The truth is not in this situation, yeah
The truth is it's my only salvation, yeah
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is not here

[Verse 2]
I tried to find it looking in the works of man
And if it's in there, well it's sure not clear
I thought I saw it somewhere in a starry sky
And if it's up there, well I'm stuck down here

[Chorus 2]
The truth is like chasing a phantom, yeah
The truth is not easily handled, yeah
The truth is so seemingly random, yeah
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is not here

[Bridge]
The truth is, the truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is, the truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is, the truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is, the truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is, the truth is stranger than fiction
The truth is, the truth is stranger than fiction

[Verse 3]
I gotta find the truth
If I have to stand all day in the bright sunshine
I gotta find it, I'm gonna find the truth
If I have to dance all night, leave my body behind

Because the truth is never gonna look for me
I will never get to see what I have not earned
Yes and the truth is, if that day should never come
It doesn't mean I was wrong to try to capture that bird

[Outro]
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
Sweet bird of truth, come to me
