10,000 Marbles - Truth I Know lyrics

I won't say I'm guilty But the truth has changed But trust me my friend It'll end better this way I couldn't watch quietly And I won't pretend To understand I don't feign piety But why would a God ever want to be I could feign stories Of regret and woe But morals implore me To share the truth that I know (Chorus) Stressful days Yeah, restless nights But I know I'm just I bear the burden of right And it's worse for the liar Than the one deceived Don't offer me solace 'Cause I don't believe (Chorus) The dimmest bulb in that factory Tore her away And our hearts still bleed (Chorus) And what of the fate of Veronica dear He manipulates ya' with crocodile tears And I can't pretend that it's alright That the human darkness snuffed out her light So fathers, don't cast your blame In my place you'd do the same And mother, do what thou wilt It erodes us like the silt Their sons destroy our world By stealin' your little girls The daughter you loved from birth Slumbers beneath the earth So ask yourself, what is one life worth When measured against the children's birth? Yet he's free to live and carry on And she had to die and it's all so wrong I will have order in this court room I will have order in this court I will have I will have Order Order Order Order The ones who make history And the ones who repeat All wind up the same yet under our feet But what remains is what's pa**ed down My legacy and I am proud
