MOMENTS OF IMPACT
I'm sorry you're angry
I told you up front that I'm no
Good days are long gone, it's a long con, and we're back to where...

I told you the truth, I just lied to myself for a long time

I had a dream that I was floating somewhere, drifting in the distance...
Yeah, I know, it's a personal problem


How can I tell the truth, if I am not true?
I used to think that I was someone real too
Somewhere down the line I had to make due...
I can't be true, be true, be true, be true


The mornings are quiet, and these days I sleep until I wake up
It's over, we're punk rock, we're unprotected
Set all your words free, just take me, and try to make...
Amend it, don't bend it, just end it, then try to fall asleep

I had a dream that I was finally resting, staring through the window...
Yeah, I know, it's a personal problem


How can I tell the truth, if I am not true?
I used to think that I was someone real too
Somewhere down the line I had to make due...
I can't be true, be true, be true, be true


I had lost my mind, and I had found myself all on the plane back from DC
I am overwhelmed, and we are underground, and everything sinks at the same speed
I had lost myself but now I've made my mind, I am not giving up slowly...
No, it's a personal problem


How can I tell the truth, if I am not true?
How can I tell the truth, if I am not true?
How can I tell the truth, if I am not true?
Be true, be true, be true, be true
Be true, be true, be true, be true
