Pain of Truth
We Know The Score
[Intro]
Are you the person you present?
Tell me, are you the person you present?
[Verse 1]
Sometimes at night
A foggy drive down Sweet Hollow Road
I'll turn off the lights
Just to see what it feels like
So I can sympathize
If walking the line is what gets you high
But you went a step too far
And with a straight face, you lied about what you are
[Pre-Chorus] (Michael Smith of Pain of Truth)
So take your ass back to your town
And take a good look around
Think about everything that got you down
When you were a kid
Yes, I believe you should regress
Back to when you cleaned every mess
And felt the guilt deep in your bones
Think before you speak, and watch that tone
[Chorus]
Every word that leaves your mouth
Something I wish I'd lived without
I never wanted to pretend
Every apology you say
Is tossed aside and washed away
With every moment that we spent
That we spent
[Refrain]
Are you the person you present?
Tell me, are you the person you present?
[Verse 2]
Oh, I can't just sit here grimacing
I need to ask myself one thing:
What kind of person am I?
To claim some kind of moral high ground
I've made mistakes I'll never live down
But I welcome any consequence they bring
[Chorus]
Is all we are the things we hide?
Does all we do personify
The monster that lives deep inside?
Every apology you said
Was just a means to an end
When your day comes, will you repent?
Will you repent?
