The Sad Truth Songtext
von Null Device

Wake from sleep
Covered like a burial shroud
Go do the best
Go and make the family proud
Live through waking dreams
Hidden here within the crowd
Live through waking dreams
Hidden here within the crowd

Why is the sad truth
No better than a simple lie?
Here in the heartland
Waking to hear this cry
Say all the right words
And yet still you sigh
Why is the sad truth
No better than a simple lie?


Shake from calm
Learning from a naive child
Find faith too late
Too late to make the demons wild
Need these waking dreams
Just to keep the fever mild
Need these waking dreams
Just to keep the fever mild

Why is the sad truth
No better than a simple lie?
Here in the heartland
Leaving us high and dry
Say all the right words
And yet still you sigh
Why is the sad truth
No better than a simple lie?

Stir from haze
Angels light the empty way
I′ll carry on
All through the final day

Lose those waking dreams
In the end I cannot stay
Lose those waking dreams
In the end I cannot stay
