"Truth Be Told" lyrics
"Truth Be Told"
January eyes fixed on iridescent lies
Truth be told, it's no surprise
The saints came self-appointed, said they were anointed
And time is just a faded sign
The world was always ending, it was good in the beginning
But I don't know how far this goes
Saw you standin' in a pose, wearin' someone else's clothes
I don't know how far this goes
Committing sabotage, out in the garage
Turn it up and let it go, chase that old mirage
At the end of our rope, or some other tired trope
Raised in the glow of a television show
But you don't owe me anything, I don't owe you anything
No, it don't mean a thing
I don't owe you anything, you don't owe me anything
No, it don't mean a thing
I guess you can't see, I'm sweepin' up debris
All for your miserable cause
Left to my devices, payin' heavy prices
Empty as I ever was
But you don't owe me anything, I don't owe you anything
No, it don't mean a thing
I don't owe you anything, you don't owe me anything
No, it don't mean a thing

Far as I can tell
There gotta be something behind me
Lord, cause I feel I'm doing well

John Prine - "I Remember Everything" I've been down this road before
I remember every tree
Every single blade of grass

Jason Isbell - "Alabama Pines" I moved into this room, if you could call it that, a week ago.
I never do what I'm supposed to do.
I hardly even know my name anymore.
When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away.
I can't get...
