The Truth - Foster The People

Well, I’ve been trying to re-learn my name

It seems like a thousand years

That I’ve been out of frame

And I surrender, the truth is what

It’s what I’ve needed from you

'Cause I’ve been floating within your walls of opinion

And I’m tired, I only want the truth

I have tried so hard not to be like them

I have found they don’t ever say what they mean

There is a truth, there is a light if you’d follow me there

I’ve been searching for the directions and

I’m convinced the world doesn’t know what it needs

There is a hope for the hopeless, I can promise you that

Yeah, well, I’ve been accosted, the jury’s been partial

But I won’t surrender to prove to you I won’t lie

Under pressure of compromise

Yeah, well, an absolute measure won’t change with opinion

No matter how hard you try

It’s an immovable thing

Just like the visions in your bed

Or when they’re streaming in your head

I have tried so hard not to be like them

I have found they don’t ever say what they mean

There is a truth, there is a light if you’d follow me there

I’ve been searching for the directions and

I’m convinced the world doesn’t know what it needs

There is a hope, and I’ll come back

If you’re leading my hand, the world is so broken

I’m tripping my steps, I’m slipping and I know why

I never thought that I’d be here

A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet

Like the call of the prophets

A purpose is needed before you know that you know

To never wonder what you are

And not forget where you’ve come from

Yeah, ooh

Mmm, well

Is it really love you’ve been speaking of?

Oh, what’d you say?

What’d you say?

What’d you say?

Yeah, what’d you say?

I said that you need me, don’t you?

There is a truth, I can promise you that

I have tried so hard not to be like them

I have found they don’t ever say what they mean

Yeah, yeah

The truth, the truth stands in the end

While you’re deciding what to do

The truth stands in the end

While you’re deciding what to do
