lyrics

THE TRUTH lies out there in the shadows. beauty fades into the shade. they're not hiding, but they are covered up. the truth lies and beauty fades. you hit the jackpot on that one. act like you knew it all along. if only these bare walls could talk. the purest art is art that's lost. love with your eyes and be on your separate ways. love with your heart and never part. i don't know, it's thirteenth century poetry; i think i got it wrong. love with your eyes, or love with your heart. you hit the jackpot on that one. act like you knew it all along. if only these bare walls could talk. the purest art is art that's lost. here's why i'm late for everything. i spread myself too thin. led like a kite on a string. i shot myself in the foot. truth lies. beauty fades. that's why i'm late for everything. i've spread myself too thin. the truth lies, the truth lies. and the purest art is art that's lost.
