True Sadness Lyrics - True Sadness - Avett Brothers

You were a friend to me when my wheels were off the track 

And though you say there is no need, but I intend to pay you back 

When my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black 

You shined a light on me and I intend to pay you back 

But I still wake up shaken by dreams 

And I hate to say it but the way it seems 

Is that no one is fine 

Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find 

True sadness 

When I was a child, I depended on a bottle 

Full-grown I've been known to lean on a bottle 

But you're the real deal in a world of imposters 

And I've seen the program make men out of monsters

'Cause I still wake up shaken by dreams 

And I hate to say it but the way it seems 

Is that no one is fine 

Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find 

True sadness 

Angela became a target 

As soon as her beauty was seen 

By young men who try to reduce her down 

To a scene on an X rated screen 

Is she not more than the curve of her hips? 

Is she not more than the shine on her lips? 

Does she not dream to sing and to live and to dance down her own path 

Without being torn apart? 

Does she not have a heart? 

I cannot go on with this evil inside me 

I step out my front door and I feel it surround me 

Just know the kingdom of God is within you 

Even though the battle is bound to continue

And I hate to say it but the way it seems 

Is that no one is fine 

Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find 

True sadness
