Truth Is (He’s Surrounded) Songtext
von Night Windows

He′s convinced
Waiting for a break that never comes
Off in the distance
An oasis, a mirage
A hitchhiker's thumb

Truth is he′s surrounded
By a life he never wanted
Or dreamed of while holding the hand
Of another man who is never quite enough

Now, he's invested
In the palm of its darkness
Safely sheltered
By a brushfire and sun dried leaves
Steadfast he stands in steadfast regret


Truth is he's surrounded
By a life he never wanted
Or dreamed of while holding the hand
Of another man who is never quite enough
No, he was never quite enough

Confined he′s finally free from freedom

All these ridiculous requests
Please find me motivated, framed-right and well-dressed
We ache from within our filtered lives on display
The ease of our own acceptance we′ve been pushing away

Truth is he's surrounded
By a life he never wanted
Or dreamed of while holding the hand
Of another man who is never quite enough
No, he is never quite enough
