the truth

Lyrics

so i crawled down the stairs to the truth, that is sleeping alone, on a bed, the mosquito net weeping above. that lazy old truth, been lying there for weeks. so i throw myself on to the bed, onto the mercy of the truth, who is stirring and trying to cheer up the net, and afterwords me, and i'm feeling weak. cause i could go on, and on, deluding myself. waiting in the shadows, i am waiting for something else, to come along and put things in order. meanwhile, i raise my hands above the water. ready, i am in position. just promise you'll be here soon. so all of the people around, i don't wanna grow old like them. bracing, and grabbing too tight to not much. but i start feeling tired a little earlier each day. so i'm looking to re-arrange the dawn, to tidy up the order of events, and unwind every thread of regret. but take that away, and what is there left?, from now on, i just know things will be different. see the waves?, they're all nodding their agreement. if you promise you'll be here soon.
