00:17I stand here holding what is real
00:21While shadows twist and wounds conceal
00:25The words I speak fall heavy now
00:29But you turn away, rewrite the vow
00:34Once soft and pure like morning light
00:38Now storms are raging through the night
00:42I carry truth like iron chains
00:45You weave new stories, shift the blame
00:50Why does the truth cut straight through me?
00:58Why can't you see what I can see?
01:06I take the weight, I face the flame
01:10While every fault is laid on my name
01:14Oh, the truth
01:17It burns
01:21It burns
01:29It burns
01:38Little angels dressed in white
01:40Have learned to strike and fade from sight
01:45What you break you'll never own
01:49Yet still the arrows fly from your throne
01:52I stand exposed, no place to hide
01:56You point at me and turn the tide
02:00I swallow fire, I speak it plain
02:04You dance away and say I'm to blame
02:08Why does the truth cut straight through me?
02:16Why can't you see what I can see?
02:23I take the weight, I take the weight, I face the flame
02:27While every fault is laid on my name
02:31Oh, the truth
02:33Oh, the truth
02:35It burns
02:39It burns
02:41It burns
02:49It burns
02:49It burns
03:01It burns
03:02You wear the crown
03:04I'll wear the scars
03:06You rewrite the rules behind the bars
03:10No consequence
03:12No fall from grace
03:15Just an endless night
03:17In this empty space
03:21Why does the truth cut straight to me?
03:30Why can't you see what I can see?
03:37I take the weight, I face the flame
03:41While every fault is laid on my neck
03:45If the truth, it burns
03:51It always burns
03:59Why won't you turn?
04:06Ashes fall on me alone
