A hollow attempt to
To sell my point of view
Yeah, I know what’s rotting beneath your best intentions
At the heart of your convictions
Sits a broken man that needs to understand

This is all I ever asked from you
The only thing you couldn’t do
Tell me the whole truth
You don’t know yourself
How could I know you?
I will not be moved until you tell me the whole truth

I know you mean well with your ancient code of ethics
You lead by example
Could you imagine Christ hitting a child?
You live in a shelter built from your own truth

You don’t want me
You don’t want me to know
