lyrics

"We live in a world where everything you know is wrong.
Seeing is not believing. For all we know, history could be a lie."
Unwillingness to seek the truth dulls the value of your life.
Searching for the crown, an emblem of truth
In the midst of this war, nothing can be found but the lies we adore.

When the clearest of nights reveal the lights in the sky.
We gaze into the structures of time.

I seek the truth among the travel's I've made.
A lesson of certainty, a legacy of age.

We've hidden bones behind our closet doors
Whispers journey across these wooden floors

Familiar voices hold a mystery
Recognition of a memory
In the marrow lies our history

Look to a world we know little of
Small portraits sustain knowledge above
I find the truth as dawn turns to dusk:
We are the stars and the stars are in us.

Lived in a cave for a number of days
I said forget it and abandoned the game
Lived in a cave for a number of days
I said forget it as I lost all my ways
Living thinking freely on my own
The past is a shelf i've somehow outgrown
Still, you're blind to the truth.

I fought the devil for a taste of hell
Tore this place apart, found the truth is in myself

Upon this march, I find a will, consider it a win though
I got a place to dwell

I seek the truth among the travels i've made
