Rick Rubin - True Sadness lyrics

[Verse 1] You were a friend to me when my wheels were off the tracks And though you say there is no need I intend to pay you back When my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black You shined a light on me And I intend to pay you back [Chorus] But I still wake up, shaken by dreams And I hate to say it, but the way it seems Is that no one is fine Take the time, to peel a few layers And you will find True sadness [Verse 2] When I was a child I depended on a bottle Full grown I've been known to lean on a bottle But you're the real deal in a world of imposters And I seen the programs to make men out of monsters [Chorus] Cause I still wake up, shaken by dreams And I hate to say it, but the way it seems Is that no one is fine Take the time, to peel a few layers And you will find True sadness [Bridge] Angela become a target As soon as her beauty was seen By young men who tried to reduce her down To a scene on a x-rated screen Is she not more than the curve of her hips? Is she not more than the shine on her lips? Does she not dream to sing and to live and to dance down her own path Without being torn apart? Does she not have a heart? [Verse 3] I cannot go on with this evil inside me I step out my front door and I feel it surround me Just know the kingdom of God is within you Even though the battle is bound to continue [Chorus] Cause I still wake up, shaken by dreams And I hate to say it, but the way it seems Is that no one is fine Take the time, to peel a few layers And you will find True sadness True sadness True, true sadness
