I Don't Want the Truth

To the list of laws
That seal our fate
For the patient few
Who just sit there and wait
Could we justify
To cease collapse
Will we fool ourselves
Or push right through the cracks

And I don't want the truth
When what I know
Has got my throat
So I just can't refuse
These lies that keep myself afloat

Will they shut in you
And shut in me
Derail our path
The only one we see
We'll chase our tails
For some relief
We'll lose ourselves
Only to repeat

And I don't want the truth
When what I know
Has got my throat
So I just can't refuse
These lies that keep myself afloat

And I don't want the truth
When what I know
Has failed my soul
So I just can't refuse
These lies when I just need to cope
(Yeah!)

And I don't want the truth
When what I know
Has got my throat
So I just can't refuse
These lies that keep myself afloat

And I don't want the truth
When what I know
Has failed my soul
So I just can't refuse
These lies when I just need to cope
