A song about honesty colored by an uptempo guitar, contrabass lows and atmospheric piano.

lyrics

I pull a new mood off the rack
A loaded gun of trouble
My powder’s dry and waiting for a spark
But reconsider the attack
Forget about your past mistakes
You’re only who you think you are in this

Moment, human, truths forgotten
Turning inward
Time moves by your door
What’s the lying for?

We watch the people turn away
Making voluntary exits
Amplifying counsels of concern
With nothing left to say
They grind the masses down until
Slowly, they withdraw into this

Moment, human, truths forgotten
Turning inward
Time moves by your door
What’s the lying for?
What’s the lying for?
What’s the lying for?

I remember who you were
Don't let this be the new everyday
Do you remember who I am?
Take my hand, and stand

You talk yourself out of a hole
For fear the world is changing
I place that mood into the empty
Callouses run deep down to your soul
So I soften my expression
And offer silent strength to turn this

Moment, human, truths forgotten
Turning inward
Time moves by your door
What’s the lying for?
What’s the lying for?
What’s the lying for?

I pull a new mood off the rack
A loaded gun of trouble
My powder’s dry and waiting for a spark
