Fucked Up - Truth I Know Lyrics

I won't say I'm guilty but the truth has changed.
Trust me my friend it'll end better this way.
I couldn't watch quietly and I won't pretend to understand.

I don't feign piety, but why would a God ever want to be
I could feign stories of regret and woe
But morals implore me to share the truth that I know.
I couldn't watch quietly and I won't pretend to understand.
I don't feign piety, but why would God choose to be a man?

So it's stressful days followed by restless nights,
But I know I'm just, I bear the burden of right.
And it's worse for the liar than the one deceived.
Don't offer me solace because I don't believe.

I couldn't watch quietly and I won't pretend to understand.
I won't feign piety, but why would God choose to be a
The dimmest bulb in that factory tore her away and our hearts still bleed.
I couldn't watch quietly and I don't pretend to understand.
I won't feign piety, but why would God choose to be a man

And what of the fate of Veronica dear, he manipulates you with crocodile tears.
And I can't pretend that it's alright that his human darkness snuffed her light.

So fathers, don't cast your blame.
In my place you'd do the same.
And mother, do what thou wilt, it erodes us like the silt.
Their sons destroy our world by stealing your little girls.
The daughter you've loved from birth slumbers beneath the earth.

So ask yourself, what is one life worth when measured against the children we birthed?
Yet he is free to live and carry on and she had to die and it's all so wrong.
"I will have order in this court room.
I will have order in this court.
I will have, I will have, order."

The ones who make history and the ones who repeat all wind up the same under our feet.
But what survives is what's passed down.
I have my legacy and I am proud
