On the surface everything is fine
But disaster struck behind these well known lines
No more lies
A placid applause
A puzzled wink
A blushing thrill
Even in the blink of an eye
The chaos won't stand stillIt's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Should I even stay?
It's the beautiful fool that gets too close
I'm here wasting away
One two
It's getting too much for me to
Three four
Keep on chasing the floor
You know that it's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Trust when I say we'll find a remedySilver moons faded far too fast
Look to overcome the dead hand of the past
No more fouls
No more lies
Hard to have one vision
When you have four pairs of eyesIt's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Should I even stay?
It's the beautiful fool that gets too close
I'm here wasting away
One two
It's getting too much for me to
Three four
Keep on chasing the floor
You know that it's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Trust when I say we'll find a remedyA fraught honor can't atone
For a massacre of four that I created alone
Paralyzed noise exhausted by rage
Hides in disguise but takes center stageIt's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Should I even stay?
It's the beautiful fool that gets too close
I'm here wasting away
One two
It's getting too much for me to
Three four
Keep on chasing the floor
You know that it's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Trust when I say we'll find a remedyIt's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Should I even stay?
It's the beautiful fool that gets too close
I'm here wasting away
One two
It's getting too much for me to
Three four
Keep on chasing the floor
You know that it's the terrible truth that hurts the most
Trust when I say we'll find a remedy
