The Truth Lyrics - Rough Silk

[Music : Wunderlich, Doernberg / Lyrics : Doernberg] 

I don't know where to go - I don't know what to say. 

I don't know why to leave and what I'm gonna see today. 

I don't know where you are - I don't know what you've found 

But all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down ! 

Gimme the nightlights ! 

Gimme the rain ! 

Gimme the shadows of a faith gone down the drain ! 

Gimme the reasons ! 

Gimme a round ! 

And all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down ! 

I don't know why we fight - I don't know why we kill. 

I don't know who's to blame and why we cheat and and always will. 

I don't know who I am and why I was your clown 

But all I know for sure, my dear, is that the truth is gonna burn you down. 

Gimme the nightlights........ 

Didn't they tell you `bout the truth ? 

It's harder than the lie. 

And after all these one night stands 

you just kiss your tears goodbye. 

Silent memories hurt my brain 

- but your brain is not the thing 

- it's the "below-the-kidneys-territory" 

where the bells of fire ring. 

So maybe in another world 

or in another life 

- some other place - some other time 

some other one wheel drive. 

What you give is what you get 

- but what if you only take ? 

The wrong way out but the right way in 

and another heart to break. 

The truth you cannot fake ! 

Gimme the nightlight...........
