Lyrics
The Painted Truth
Hard to remember what circumstances
Led me to make that choice
The inks and needles painting my sadness
Speaking without my voice
Though the paths I've chosen since
Have changed my outlook
Now my painted skin doesn't speak my truth
Should I silence the voice that once spoke for me
Play the traitor to my youth
What of my future, now all the art-work
Brings me only (to) shame
Must I keep hidden my painted past then
Making me sad again
If I'd thought about the future...but who does that?
It's too late I know, for what's done is done
All the foolish acts of youth can't be wiped away
Take my word, everyone
The past, the future, the in between times
All interweave through the years
You'll have to live with actions you've taken
Even the wise shed their tears.
If I'd thought about the future...but who does that?
It's too late I know, for what's done is done
All the foolish acts of youth can't be wiped away
Take my word, everyone
