Post 915: Shades of Truth (5/23/00)

     SHADES OF TRUTH (05/23/00)

STRANGER THAN FICTION THESE TWISTS OF FATE

OUTSIDE THE ARMS OF REASON, 

LOOKING TO BE SET FREE BY THE ARMS OF DESTINY

BUT THE NIGHTS ARE SO LONG AND TIME IS THE ENEMY

SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES IT SETS ME FREE

SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART CALLS OUT TO ME

BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO GIVE YOURSELF AWAY

AND IT’S HARD FOR YOU TO FEEL THIS WAY

YOU TRY TO HIDE YOUR EMOTIONS BEHIND LEAD WALLS

BUT I KNOW YOU CAN’T LIVE A LIE

AND YOU CAN’T DISGUISE WHAT YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO HIDE

I KNOW YOU’RE TOO SCARED TO TELL ME

(SHADES OF TRUTH, TELL ME YOU WANT ME

THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES YOU CANNOT DISGUISE

YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, 

BUT YOU CAN’T LET GO OF THE FEAR INSIDE

AND YOUR HEART BEATS FOR ME

THESE SHADES OF TRUTH ARE ALL I SEE, 

SHADES OF TRUTH ARE ENOUGH FOR ME)

A FIRE INSIDE ONLY YOUR HEART CAN SEE, BURNING SO BRIGHTLY

BUT YOU’RE TOO SCARED TO FALL, AND YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOVE

YOU REACH OUT TO ME WHEN I AM AWAY, 

BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU WON’T TELL ME

AND ALL I SEE IN MY DREAMS IS YOU AND ME

AND THE LOVE IN MY HEART IS CONSUMING ME

(CHORUS)
