(Per)Version of a Truth (demo) 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)
(It doesn′t exist, it doesn′t exist) truth

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)
(It doesn′t exist, it doesn't exist) truth

(It doesn′t exist, it doesn't exist) truth
(It doesn't exist, it doesn′t exist) truth
(It doesn′t exist, it doesn't exist) truth
(It 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?)
Born into a world, never asked to be here
(Inside of lies buried in me, why?)

Versions of the truth
I′m not the only one
You′re versions of the truth
I'm not the only one
You′re versions of the truth
I'm not the only one
You′re versions of the truth
I'm not the only one (lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies)
