[Verse 1]
Into a desperate home of a beaten and broken man
There is a sound of hope resting in his trembling hands
I thought I was alone, but there you are again
Step out of the shadow, let me tell you how it all began
Every breath is like concrete
Every step with lead in your bones
Running away from their peering eyes
Set in the direction that they always despised
[Chorus]
Piece of the truth stuck in your head
Hear your inner voice and soon you will understand
Lie a thousand times, God will believe
You are never wrong if no one will compete
[Verse 2]
(It's like) Seeing for the first time
The scales falling from your eyes
Found a purpose for a week or two
Always leading to the same demise
There is nothing beneath the mask
But the same face you hide behind
What's the point?
Can't conceal the sadness in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
The suffering never ends
It only ends when we're dead
The suffering never ends
Only when you're dead
[Chorus]
Piece of the truth stuck in your head
Hear your inner voice and soon you will understand
Lie a thousand times, God will believe
You are never wrong if no one will compete
[Refrain]
Face to face with your own mistakes
Can't shut it down, I need to cut it out
[Refrain]
Face to face with your own mistakes
Can't shut it down, I need to cut it out
[Bridge]
I buried the man I was destined to be
I cut off the hand that tried to hold on to that dream
[Verse 3]
The uncertainty of having no direction
Destiny at play, no roots, no attachments
When death is calling every hour every day
All that is left behind but everything is at stake
[Chorus]
Piece of the truth stuck in your head
Hear your inner voice and soon you will understand
Lie a thousand times, God will believe
You are never wrong if no one will compete
