The Truth
Realize that the truth is unknown,
Believing in falsehoods, I've outgrown.
Revealing what we think is the truth,
Given facts, but not having proof.
Can't go on living this way.
Lies in the past and lies today.
LMAO cuz we believe the lies.
On your teachings, our society relies.
Asking myself what is really true,
Why people do the things they do.
We don't know shit except the shit they show,
our single mindedness won't allow us to grow.
Study myself so that I can finally see,
I'm living with my own internal diversities,
Trapped by the lies that surround our lives,
Secluded in a dungeon where stupidity thrives,
But the thing to know and that which is key,
Is to know the truth will set you Free.
