Why don't you tell me?
The voice deceives me
So what's the truth?
But believe me it's the same
I'm still alive and so should I soak up the wave of compromise
And the right hand takes away
Never for you, never for me would I kiss your feet of clay
Better for me, better for you gonna bleach it all away
But I wake to trip the day
Why don't you tell me?
Why don't you tell me, why don't you tell me?
Why don't you tell me, why don't you tell me?
There's no conscience in charity or shame
I'm still alive and so should I soak up the wave of compromise
I see the black in white and the color in the gray
I meant to sleep at night
Am I the victim of youth is this the truth?
I see the scars, I hear the lies
Am I the victim of youth is this the truth?
I'm still alive and so should I soak up the wave of compromise
Left hand kills
