The Song of Truth

I know where it lies,
I know what i have not said
I know what’s keeping me up at night
I know this feeling… of regret

Not towards you, neither the world 
But toward me
It is me that i can not look into the mirror
And breathe easily

I need the truth to be in place
At work, in life, at my disgrace
The ghosts can’t live like this for long 
They need the air in which you and me grow strong

They feed on life, they feed off my bones
So it is either them… or off into another distance I go.
They breathe my air, they speak my words
They… altogether want my thoughts

They rest no day, no night 
No dusk, no dawn, no morning light
Until that truth will shine bright
I lose my day i lose my night
An alter ego of my own 
that wants a new man out of this soul

Sometimes it lasts in love
This time it lasts in hate
A song of truth i need to sing 
what this future will now bring
To reshape my world 
To bring back my fate
A willing soul… a sweet escape

And after all is said and done
Through the years 
Through the suns
This song of truth 
Will bare the ghosts 
Will bare your bones
Your name, you stories
Your family, him
Your cars, your lies
The small kids, the sister too
Everyone and everything in your life
That I shared a love of some kind 
I know your grandpa wouldn’t mind…

And off into my distance i go…
Into another Love,
back into my expanded world
Not holding this couch alone

I see the ghosts in living frame
This song is now a living dream
I shake the hands that once I longed
I share some path but not for long
They get to meet me eye to eye
I share a joke, a bit too long
They share a prayer, I say goodbye
The universe plays in the sky 
A blue house, An Italian song

They get to see for once, what is inside 
This FUCKING love of a crazy kind
And they will tear up or maybe sigh
Wondering what it will be like
If you were mine.

This song of truth…
Will ring their hearts
And they will know they failed their parts
The ghost will always be alive
With a face, with a mind

How light that weight felt that December night
I will not have to fight i thought, 
I will bare the emotions alright
Just a slight liking that will fade out

How wrong i was that December night

Eye for an eye left the whole city blind
So much so that they couldn’t see
Who was I and who was with me
The friend of a friend alone on the street
The long lonely nights with a glow retreat

So truth my friends has many colors
It lives and breaths in different orders
It hides and seeks different borders
It breathes the pain exhales relief 
Or in the opposite it exceeds

It is static, singular
Through time and place
Unchangeable, stoic
It does not race
It waits for you to catch up
It waits for you to build up courage 
To face it

It waits for you to find your peace
Without losing your soul
Without losing your love 
It waits for you to scream in dreams
In its own patterns in its own rhythms
