(Per)Version of a Truth Songtext
von Mudvayne

When everything is lost (peel it all away)
Haunting us with questions (asking)
Will we ever find the smile inside (no)
Is it hidden behind the sweating eyes (bleeding)
Dead inside a scream that′s pouring from me

I'm planted in this skin (constricting and pulling me)
This dirty filthy skin (rancid and stinging me)
I burn behind the walls (that have become my world)
The bearer of a gift
Fuck your gift

Truth does not exist
But the lies do
Truth does not exist
But the lies do

They′re buried in the skin
Evolved


Perversion of a truth
I'm stuck there
Inside of lies buried in me, why (alone)
Born into a world
Never asked to be here
Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth
Doesn′t exist, it doesn′t exist, truth
Death

Always inside a tragedy (things never seem to go away)
A room that I remember (portraits I carry)
Try letting go of this space (bad habits can't kick me)
The fool that fell from heaven
Heaven

Perversion of a truth
I′m stuck there
Inside of lies buried in me, why (alone)
Born into a world never asked to be here
Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth
Doesn′t exist, it doesn't exist, truth
Doesn′t exist, it doesn't exist, truth
Doesn't exist, it doesn′t exist, truth
Doesn′t exist, it doesn't exist, truth
Doesn′t exist, it doesn't exist, truth

Maybe we′re all the children of a star
Misguided in direction, our misdirection
Pardon me while I pray for light


I'm not the only one
That walks between the rain, there are many
I′m not the only one
When everything is lost that doesn't surrender
Perversion of a truth
I'm stuck there
Inside of lies buried in me, why (alone)
Blind walking through a world
Never asked to be here

Versions of the truth
I′m not the only one
Your versions of the truth
I′m not the only one
Your versions of the truth
I'm not the only one
Your versions of the truth
I′m not the only one

Lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies!
