[Verse 1]

Into a desperate home of a beaten and broken man

There is a sound of hope resting in his trembling hands

I thought I was alone, but there you are again

Step out of the shadow, let me tell you how it all began

Every breath is like concrete

Every step with lead in your bones

Running away from their peering eyes

Set in the direction that they always despised

[Chorus]

Piece of the truth stuck in your head

Hear your inner voice and soon you will understand

Lie a thousand times, God will believe

You are never wrong if no one will compete

[Verse 2]

(It's like) Seeing for the first time

The scales falling from your eyes

Found a purpose for a week or two

Always leading to the same demise

There is nothing beneath the mask

But the same face you hide behind

What's the point?

Can't conceal the sadness in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

The suffering never ends

It only ends when we're dead

The suffering never ends

Only when you're dead

[Chorus]

Piece of the truth stuck in your head

Hear your inner voice and soon you will understand

Lie a thousand times, God will believe

You are never wrong if no one will compete

[Refrain]

Face to face with your own mistakes

Can't shut it down, I need to cut it out

[Refrain]

Face to face with your own mistakes

Can't shut it down, I need to cut it out

[Bridge]

I buried the man I was destined to be

I cut off the hand that tried to hold on to that dream

[Verse 3]

The uncertainty of having no direction

Destiny at play, no roots, no attachments

When death is calling every hour every day

All that is left behind but everything is at stake

[Chorus]

Piece of the truth stuck in your head

Hear your inner voice and soon you will understand

Lie a thousand times, God will believe

You are never wrong if no one will compete
