lyrics

THE FURTHEST THING FROM THE TRUTH

mother take a walk
into the center of your mind
see the roman candles
burning from behind
a cold wind blows
into the middle of the sun
and who is left
to be the chosen one

i know
just what you're thinking of
and how you turned your back on love
and now you break down once again
i just can't let go

father, take a look
and see what this has done
you never seem beside yourself
every time you run
left out cold
in this opressive lie
you won't find the truth
no matter how you try

she knows
just what you're thinking of
and now you turn your back on love
and now you break down once again
i just can't let go

how am i supposed to understand
the way you turn and bite the feeding hand
you say you are the product of your youth
well, that's the furthest thing from the truth

so i went out looking
for the meaning of all this
i came back with the secrets
i have always missed
now it comes together
like a boil in my mind
hiding from the tangle
we all left so far behind

i know
just what you're thinking of
and why you turned your back on love
and why you break down once again
i just can't let go

how am i supposed to understand
the way you turn and bite the feeding hand
you say you are disposed of your youth
well, that's the furthest thing from the truth

what are you thinking of?
how could you turn your back on love?
how do you break down, time again?
i just can't let go

how am i supposed to understand
the way you turn and bite the feeding hand
you say you are disposed of your youth
well, that's the furthest thing from the truth

-September 1993
