Cannies of Truth – Phil Headway Lyrics
Why can't I believe, baby
In something fresh, new?
Or simply believe, yeah
In nothing for a few
Why follow millennia
That already are gone?
Are they by any chance here?
Do they live on their own?
Bars disguised as schools
Handcuffs as diplomas
And your failures wide open
In the blurred headlines, mama
Haters will love it
And lovers will hate
But I have to tell you
That you're just a bait
Get ready to see it
The facade will succumb
He really will come back
But this time as a bomb
Say what you mean
If your wallet affords
Your sins are between
Just you and the Lord
They eat the bread
They drink the wine
Abhor the songs
Without a rhyme
How far are you willing to go to face
The cannies of truth
The cannies of truth
They get wool for the winter
Leaving the sheep naked
And afraid of the dark
She waits for her family
Today she decided
To paint herself gray
She went up and down
That was the only way
She lives in the middle ground
Where wondering is allowed
Now she has found out
The truth has no sound
They push you into temples
Scream hymns like bait
And deafen you
With their faith
How far are you willing to go to face
The cannies of truth
The cannies of truth
They eat the bread
They drink the wine
And abhor songs
Without a rhyme
How far are you willing to go to face
The cannies of truth
The cannies of truth
They push you into temples
Scream hymns like bait
And deafen you
With their faith
How far are you willing to go to face
The cannies of truth
The cannies of truth
