The Truth Lyrics by The Reputation

The Reputation

2002

Under a sea, came up for air
Opened my eyes and heard, "Release her, release her."
A heady blur of charcoal white
Still needle-filled, she said, "Release her, release her."
And I went home that day she'd left by nightfall
But letting go was all I had to do
Don't want for what you cannot have
Forgive or don't but just release her, release her
So I took stock and harbored down
Wandered for years, then just released her
Released her
'Cause I went home that day she'd left by nightfall
But letting go was all I had to do
'Cause I spat black and blood 'til all the bad in me was gone
Purged of everything except the truth
Not helping me, just saving you
And you knew it
I know it happened
I've got pictures that prove it
Not helping me, just saving you
And you knew it
You called me crazy and well, yeah, maybe
But I know the truth
And I went home that day she'd left by nightfall
But letting go was all I had to do
I spilled black and blood 'til all the best in me was gone
Purged of everything except the truth
