I got the message and the message is proof
I wonder 'bout the lies I've been reading - I wonder where this madness is leading

The truth's gonna come around - The sky is the limit now
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
Desperate for changing, starving for truth - I'm closer to where I started - I'm chasing after you
Tell me that you'll open your eyes - Get up, get out, get away from these liars
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, or the moment of truth in your lies
Is the truth really there? Or is it right under our hair? For all we know it's been there all the time
If it ain't truth, it's philosophy - You better use your words properly
I've been searching for something, taken out of my soul - Something I would never lose - Something somebody stole
I wanna turn the whole thing upside down - I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I wander through fiction to look for the truth - Buried beneath all the lies - And I stood at a distance to feel who you are - Hiding myself in your eyes
I bought a ticket to the world, but now I've come back again - Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh I want the truth to be said
What goes up must come down - What goes 'round must come 'round - What's been lost must be found
I must be looking for something - Something sacred I lost - But the river is wide, and it's too hard to cross
Crooked wheels keep turning - Children, are you learning?

Don’t believe the church and state and everything they tell you -
Lay me on the ground and fly me in the sky - Show me where to look, tell me, what will I find? What will I find?
Feeling kinda tilted and I’m pouring out the truth, just fading out these talkers ‘cause now all I want is you.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor and every day the paper boy brings more
Give me a word, give me a sign, show me where to look - Tell me, what will I find? What will I find?
The birds and the bees, they are wise to the lies - So they took to the trees and took to the skies
There's a key that opens the door - Will you find and turn it?
All those signs, I knew what they meant - Some things you can invent - Some get made, and some get sent
Cause It’s the World I Know
We accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented. It’s as simple as that.
